Sold for £1,900
Estimated at £500 - £800
In fully restored condition, relined, cleaned and re-varnished. Some possible slight flattening to the original surface and impasto but still retains a good degree of general depth. Light surface dirt and discoloured varnish. There is little to easily discern by way of later paint or intervention under a UV light but does not preclude the possibility. Odd area of isolated cracquelure and some paint shrinkage/crinkled appearance e.g. the young girls nose. Otherwise in a good stable presentable state of preservation.
