Dutch School, 19th century Portrait of a gentleman in 17th century costume, half length oil on panel 50 x 38cm Condition report: Oil on canvas which has been laid onto a wooden panel. The paint layer has several textural issues, some of which have been caused by the canvas support being attached to the panel. There is pronounce wrinkling in many areas across the surface. Darker areas are worn and abraded. There are numerous small retouchings across the surface, in the background these have darkened and are very obvious. The varnish is matte, exacerbated by an attempt to clean up the painting which has led to a smeary surface. The frame has suffered extensive loss to gilded surface, possibly due to exposure to damp.
