KILLADOON HOUSE, PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT IRISH ESTATE
AFTER SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS
CARICATURE OF THOMAS BRUDENELL-BRUCE, 1ST EARL OF AILESBURY, THE HON. JOHN WARD, JOSEPH LEESON, LATER 2ND EARL OF MILLTOWN, AND JOSEPH HENRY OF STRAFFAN
oil on canvas, unlined, in a carved and gilt wood frame
58.7 x 43.6 cm.; 23⅛ x 17⅛ in.
Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined, the paint surface is dirty and the varnish is discoloured. There are faint stretcher marks along all four margins, and the texture of the paint surface on all four sides appears smoother than that of the central image. There is a rather pronounced network of craquelure particularly in the lower part of the painting. There is small loss in the lower left-hand corner, and a visible retouching in the upper left corner. Inspection under ultraviolet light confirms the aforementioned retouching and appears to reveal no other intervention. In overall good condition.
"In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report.

NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE."
Provenance:
Possibly Joseph Leeson, 2nd Earl of Milltown (1730-1801), Russborough House, County Wicklow and gifted to Elizabeth, Lady Leitrim (d. 1817).
