LOT WITHDRAWN.
GEORGE BARRET (IRISH CIRCA 1728 - 1784)
THE SALMON FISHER
Oil on canvas
112.5 x 166cm (44¼ x 65¼in.)
Provenance:
The Propriety of The Viscount Chilston
Sale, Christie's, 18 November 1966, lot 44 (as Sawrey Gilpin)
Gooden & Fox, London
From a Private Scottish Collection
Condition Report:
The canvas has been relined and presents subtle craquelure across the whole surface. UV light reveals an evenly applied varnish, which protects the canvas. There are a few slight infills in the superficial craquelure to the lower quarter. There is a slight crease crossing the whole canvas at the centre, possibly the picture was folded in the past. Otherwise, there appears to be no substantial or evident restoration other than a few slight patches of approx. 0.5 cm to the foliage at the left border. Finally, there are a few areas of damage to the edges of the canvas, caused by frame abrasion.
