About this lot

Description

English School, circa 1840Portrait of a lady, half length, in a black dress, seated, with a landscape beyond oil on canvas, unlined 75 x 62cmCONDITIONThe canvas is unlined and in an excellent condition, what can be seen of the tacking margins in the frame are stable. The canvas tension is good and the picture is in plane. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition. There are areas of retouching, particularly in the sitter’s face and along the top edge of the work. These are fairly well matched when viewed from a normal distance. The varnish is clear, even and semi-glossy. There are some losses to the gilding of the frame on the inner edges of the slip.
