Lot 816
An 18th/19th Century oil on canvas Portrait of a Seated Noble Woman Reading" 49" x 39" (slight tear to canvas) £200-300 ILLUSTRATED

The painting is not in great condition. Sadly, it has been rather over cleaned and this has stripped off the glazes between layers and left the figure especially looking as if she is flaking, although the canvas isn\'t actaully flaking any paint. There is a small spot where the paint is missing to the top leeft hand corner and the tear to the canvas is on the figures left hand arm. The painting has not been relined. The frame is not original.
