THOMAS SPENCER | RALPH GORE, VISCOUNT BELLEISLE AND 1ST EARL OF ROSS (1725-1802) ON HIS BAY HUNTER IN A LANDSCAPE
KILLADOON HOUSE, PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT IRISH ESTATE
THOMAS SPENCER
British, active circa 1730 - circa 1763
RALPH GORE, VISCOUNT BELLEISLE AND 1ST EARL OF ROSS (1725-1802) ON HIS BAY HUNTER IN A LANDSCAPE
later inscribed lower left: RALPH GORE / EARL OF ROSS
oil on canvas
101 x 137.5 cm.; 39¾ x 54⅛ in.
Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined and slightly loose along the upper edge, the paint surface is dirty and the varnish is discoloured. There are numerous small losses along the centre of the lower margin, and the paint surface is also starting to lift with a danger of further losses in the sky around the gentleman and in the upper right corner where some small losses have already occurred. There are also a couple of small losses in the foliage of the tree on the right. Retouching to two small damages are visible in the horse's rump and front left leg, both approx. 0.5 x 0.5 cm. Inspection under ultraviolet does not appear to reveal any further intervention and the painting appears to be largely untouched, though older restoration is difficult to discern below the opaque varnish. In overall good condition.
