Description
- Michael Sweerts
- Portrait of a young man, bust length
- oil on canvas
Condition
The actual painting is slightly warmer in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The canvas has an old, stable relining. There are some scratches in the upper right corner, but otherwise, no damages are apparent and the paint layer is generally sound. The paint surface is under a fairly clear but glossy layer of varnish. Inspection under UV light reveals very tiny scattered retouchings, which can hardly be made out with the naked eye, and which are more frequent in the background.
Offered in a plain wood frame in godo condition.
