Carl Wünnenberg (German, 1850-1929) Portrait of a young lady, bust length, in a blue dress with a white rose and gauze ruff signed 'C WÜNNENBERG' u.r., oil on panel 28 x 21.5cm Condition report: Oil on a small wooden panel which has a cradle attached to the reverse. The panel is stable with no splits at the edges. The paint layer has localised drying cracks. There are vertical ridges of paint following the woodgrain of the panel. This has caused some wear to the sitter’s chest. There is a small paint loss in the sitter’s hair with associated scratch to the surface. There are localised areas of retouching which are slightly matte and yellowed compared to the surrounding area. The varnish is slightly yellowed and glossy with a thick layer of dust on the surface.
