Manner of Thomas Patch (1725-1782)

Covered in a thick layer of dirt and discoloured varnish, small puncture/damage with some associated retouching? approximately halfway up and slightly right of the tower on the far left. The paint is slightly lifting in this general vicinity and on the precarious side. Areas of varying sized essentially stable cracquelure elsewhere mostly contained to the sky. Diagonal surface abrasion/damage with minor perforation or puncture to canvas running from the foot of the far left-hand side tower towards the two figures in the foreground. Small chip or loss to foot of left-hand side tower, further cluster of minor imperfections to lower right-hand corner. Tiny loss or two within sky towards upper right-hand corner, seemingly small patch of retouching to the upper left-hand corner. Tiny crack to right-hand side edge just above the lower window of far right-hand side turret. Slight stretcher shadow.

As per the description - "Manner of" indicates that this is an out of period picture and most likely 20th century.
