CIRCLE OF JAN ALBERTSZ. ROTIUS
Portrait of a girl, full-length, holding cherries, a bowl of fruit on a table beside her
oil on canvas
105 by 77.5cm.; 41¼by 30 1/2in.
Condition Report:
The canvas is lined, the paint surface is dirty and the varnish is very discoloured. Retouching along all four margins is visible to the naked eye, as is some bitumenisation in the dark barkground, notably in the upper right corner. There are small restorations in the upper left corner. Further small, discoloured retouchings are visible to the naked eye in the girl's face, scattered in her collar, in her white apron, and the white tablecloth. Inspection under ultraviolet light is impeded by the old, milky varnish beneath which it is difficult to discern any intervention further to that visible to the naked eye.
