Description
- Antoine Pesne
- A Portrait of a young girl, three-quarter length, with a spaniel
- oil on canvas, unlined, unframed
Condition
The canvas is unlined. The painting is very dirty and the varnish heavily discoloured. There are a few surface scratches, losses and damages, none of which measure more than 1 cm; a couple of holes occur on and above her head, another near the right paw of the dog and a small tear just beside it. A series of horizontal parallel lines suggest the canvas may have been rolled at some point. The paint surface is in good condition overall and does not show signs of wear. The picture will benefit from cleaning. Offered unframed.
