J. W. Halford, British, early-mid 19th century- Still life of a stoneware jug, a tankard and a copper pan on a table in an interior; oil on panel, signed and dated 'J. W. Halford 1830' (on the green card(?) lower left), 22.2 x 18.5 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK.
The panel sits well within the frame. Slight warping to the panel. The paint surface is generally stable on the support. Fine and settled craquelure throughout, with one area of more heightened vertical craquelure (approx. 3 cm) in need of stabilisation, with a corresponding area of paint loss (approx. 1.5 cm). Evidence of some pigment separation/shrinkage in areas. Minor abrasions lower, right, and left edges from contact with the frame, with corresponding slight lifting of the paint surface upper left corner. Minor marks, some surface dirt, and minor abrasions generally. Inspection under UV light reveals some infilling to the areas of paint separation, particularly to the copper pan and the neck of the jug, alongside evidence of spots of possible dirt to the varnish on the door (see image).
