Description

  • Portrait of a young officer, half length, wearing a red jacket
  • oil on canvas, unframed

Condition

The canvas has a wax relining. The paint surface is generally secure, although somewhat retouched in areas. Inspection under UV causes the most recent retouchings to flouresce. There appears to be a restored L- shaped tear to the centre of the canvas of aprox. 10 by 15 cm. A further restored diagonal tear of aprox 15 cms can be found in the backgound. Unframed.
