About this lot

Description

Attributed to Ramsay Richard Reinagle, RA (1775–1862)

Portrait of a boy, said to be Henry Lee, standing full length in a landscape holding his hoop and stick
oil on canvas laid to board
68.5 x 56cm



82 x 69cm framed

The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been laid onto cardboard. The cardboard has a slight bow but overall the picture is in plane. Along the upper edge is a slight undulation where the canvas has become detached from the board. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition overall. There are a few small losses caused by impacts from the front. The varnish is glossy and slightly yellowed. There are matte areas across the surface which could relate to translucent overpaint or locally applied varnish.
