Ex. Lot 11 16/5/18 Chiswick Auctions
The portrait has undergone a recent restoration, and there is evidence of extensive overpainting in particular to the left side of the face and the entire decolletage area but with several further smaller areas. There are a couple of knocks to the surface, by the sitter’s ear to the left of them.
See photo of restoration.
