Description

Thomas Gray (British, 19th Century) The love letter; and A merry serenade the first signed lower right on the stone step "Thomas Gray" oil on canvas (a pair) 58 x 25cm (23 x 10in)

Rather shiny varnish. Craquelure overall. 851 DE- old Christie's stencil Both paintings are oil on canvas and are unlined. In the painting with the ladies reading the canvas texture is more apparent through the thinner paint passages and drying cracks are more prominent. There are areas of wear and abrasion around the edges, otherwise the paint layers are stable. The surface gloss of the two works differs but is acceptable. The frames have been painted gold.
