About this lot

Description

Follower of Simone Pignoni

Hebe, cupbearer of the gods, holding a drinking ewer and flowers
oil on canvas
84.5 x 69cm



Provenance:
Private Collection, London



The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. The canvas tension is stiff and there are minor undulations around the edges of the picture. The paint layers are stable but have suffered from wear and damage in the past. Old varnish residues appear green in the dark background. There is extensive overpaint across the surface, applied in a brushy manner and slightly darkened overtime. In the flesh paint, retouchings have become lighter. The varnish is clear and even.
