Italian School (late 17th / early 18th century), Madonna

Italian School (late 17th / early 18th century)MadonnaOil on canvas33 x 25.5cm (12 x 10 in.)Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. The gold ground appears to be a later addition. Craquelure throughout and losses, most notably to the framed edges. The work has a later applied glossy varnish. Light surface dirt throughout. There is a patch of retouching to the sitter's face below her left eye which is visible in natural light. Inspection under UV is hard to read due to the application of a heavy varnish but it is likely that there has been previous restoration and infilling to the craquelure.Condition Report Disclaimer
