Provenance: Packington Hall, Warwickshire
Oil on canvas which has been lined. The canvas is in plane with good tension. The paint layer has suffered from flaking and loss in the past which the lining has sought to address, there are still some paint passages with raised edges of craquelure. There is wear in the darker paint passages which has been retouched Retouchings in the flesh tones have lightened and become distracting. The varnish is semi-matte but even. There are a few chips and losses to the frame.
