Portrait of a gentleman in a red cap before a ledge, half-length

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 panel appears to be comprised of a single board. There are scattered short hairline cracks following the wood grain. Under natural light, areas of retouching, are visible. There is an overall, fine and unobtrusive network of craequlure. There is an area of disturbance in the upper right quadrant. Inspection under ultraviolet light confirms scattered lines of strengthening and retouching to address craquelure and the aforementioned hairlines. The work should be hung in its present state. The painting is offered with a simple giltwood frame.
