Description

Portrait of Frederick Howard, 5th Earl of Carlisle (1748-1825) when Lord Morpeth oil on canvas 56 x 43cm

Footnote: After the original by Sir Joshua Reynolds of circa 1757/8 in the Castle Howard collection.

Condition report: Oil on canvas which has been lined. Wide drying cracks have formed in the texture of the paint as it has dried. This has led to extensive overpaint across the surface in all areas. The paint layer is stable and secure. The varnish is matte with several scuffs and scratches. There is a thick layer of dust across the surface. The frame is in a poor condition with losses to the decorative gilding on all four sides.
