Robert Anscomb (20th century)
Robert Anscomb (20th century) Portrait of Lady Murless (1915-1993) mounted on Buckhound (b.1949) in an extensive landscape signed 'R.Anscomb/Newmarket' (lower right) and inscribed with the name of the horse (lower left) oil on canvas 47 x 57cm
Provenance: From the estate of the late Julie Cecil (1942-2022)
Lady Murless (1915-1993) was the mother of Julie Cecil.
The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has not been lined. The canvas is in plane and the tension is good. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition overall. In the darker paint passages, bloom has started to form on the surface causing a milky, purple effect which is evident on the horse in particular. It should be possible to reverse this through cleaning. The painting is unvarnished. The frame is glazed and the glass is dirty inside and out.
