About this lot

Description

Continental School, 19th CenturyRaphael and La Fornarina oil on canvas 48.5 x 38.5cmCONDITIONOil on a very fine weave canvas support (or possibly paper?). The painting has been lined. The tension is slightly slack but in plane overall. The layer has localised areas of raised cracks, probably caused by impact, but is stable overall and in a very good condition. The varnish is yellowed and is becoming brittle, notably in the darker paint passages where it is breaking up and becoming slightly opaque. There are a few scuffs to the surface.
