Description

This intimate oil portrait captures an elderly peasant woman dressed in red and white. The subject's weathered face and simple attire suggest a life of hard labour. The work is beautifully presented in a distressed gilt wood frame. Unsigned. On canvas.

Condition

Signs of wear consistent with age. Notable wear and undulation to the canvas. Inspection under UV light reveals small areas of overpainting. Dirtying and discolouration to the varnish layer. Heavy craquelure to the surface. The gilt effect frame is in a distressed condition; however, this complements the antique portrait within. Evidence of historic woodworm has been treated to the reverse canvas bars.
