In good original unlined condition, however, the canvas is rather buckled and there are quite a lot of scuff marks and scratches but no serious tears or damages. The work may have been cleaned in the early part of the last century. There is reasonably thick impasto in places and quite a lot of surface dirt and discoloured varnish. Contained within its original period giltwood carved frame, the frame surmounted with a coronet on a cushion. The frame is rather dilapidated, and some gilt and further areas of plaster are missing from the frame (220512)

We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a condition report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition.
