Description

Helène Durand (French, 19th Century) Venus attended by putti oil on canvas 112 x 86cm (44 x 34in)

Oil on canvas which is unlined but the edges appear to be reinforced with new canvas. There are several small tears in the canvas and a large one at the centre of the left hand edge. The paint layer is stable. There are areas of overpaint covering old damages as well as in the sky around the cherubs. The varnish is clear, even and semi-glossy. There are small losses to the gilding on the frame, otherwise it is in a good condition.
