Description

English School, 19th Century Portrait of an officer, believed to be Lieutenant Colonel John Dumaresq (1759-1804) of the Ninth Battalion of the Army of Reserve of Worcester, three-quarter length oil on panel 26 x 19cm (10 x 7in)
Provenance: By descent within the family of the sitter
Oil on panel. The paint layer is in a stable condition. There is a small paint loss on the sitter's left hand sleeve. There are matte patches on the sitter's jacket and around the collar, through the glazing it is difficult to tell if this is later retouching or reworking by the artist - there doe snot appear to be an obvious damage which the paint is covering. The mitres of the frame are opened and there are numerous losses to the decorative moulding and gilded surface.
