Lady Albert Conyngham (1809–1841)

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The canvas is unlined and is on its original stretcher, which is providing good support. There is some surface cracking, most notably in the flesh tones. There are some areas of old paint skrinkage in the sky, which have been restored and a few minor areas of cracquelure.

Under UV examination, there is some infilling to cracquelure on the left hand side of the sky. There are areas of overpainting to areas of the sky, mostly in the upper half. There is some retouching alond the lower right edge of her dress. There are some areas of strenghtening to the outer edges of her hair. There are one or two other minor spots of retouching.

The painting is presented in its original frame.
