After Sir Peter Lely, 18th/19th Century
Lady Mary Pembroke
oil on canvas
46 3/4 x 38 1/2 inches.
European Furniture & Decorative Arts
Frame: 52 3/4 x 44 3/8 inches. Canvas is lined and affixed to a board, so it is not possible to photograph the back of the canvas. There is moderate craquelure throughout and a few small losses of flaking paint as well as a small puncture or indentation in the center of one of her eyes. Some frame abrasions and paint losses at the left edge, probably with minor overpainting. The entire canvas fluoresces slightly under UV light, so it has probably be re-varnished in the 20th century, but UV light does not reveal any obvious large areas of overpainting. With the naked eye it seems possible that there is a small amount of overpainting around her mouth and forehead, but uncertain. Stable and attractive overall. Work is likely based on a Lely example, however, the original is not in any known collections.
