Description
- Max Liebermann
- Bildnis der Frau Goeritz (Portrait of Mrs Goeritz)
- signed M Liebermann; dedicated An Thomas Goeritz zur Barmizwah on the reverse
- oil on panel
- 41 by 31.7cm., 16 1/8 by 12 1/2 in.
Provenance
A gift from the artist to the family of the present owner in 1932
Condition
The panel is sound. A milky varnish is preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination reveals some scattered strokes of florescence which indicate some old retouching, notably in the figure's hat and hair to the left of her face, along the collar of her shirt and to address some old frame abrasion along the perimeter. There are four pin holes towards the centre of the left and right edges. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a light clean.
