About this lot

Description

After Jean-Baptiste Greuze (French, 1725-1805) The Motherly Reprimand oil on copper 23 x 28cm (9 x 11in)

Condition appears fine. Oil on metal. The paint layer is in a good condition overall, there is a fine network of age cracks across the surface. There are matte brushstrokes in the curtain at the left hand side which seem to be the original rather than later retouching. The varnish is even. There are small losses to the gilding and the painting is supported in the frame with a wooden panel.
