Description
American School, "Portrait of a Distinguished Gentleman," 19th c., oil on canvas, indistinctly signed "Ladherny" lower right, "Jean Bohn Picture Framers, New York" on frame backing, presented in a wood frame, H.- 41 in., W.- 31 in., Framed- H.- 48 1/2 in., W.- 38 5/8 in.
Condition
The painting is in good restored condition. Repairs are commensurate with age and material. The painting has been relined and retacked at the edges with light abrading along edges. There is a small wax repair to the lower right about 2 inches above the signature. There is a small flake loss to the upper left, and a scratch to the lower center right. Under UV light, scattered inpainting was detected at the site of repair, to areas of the jacket, to the hands, to the left side of his face, neck and collar, and to the lower portion of the background. There is light blooming (white cloudiness) to the top layer of varnish in the background. Several layers of varnish were also detected under UV light, making it difficult for the UV rays to fully penetrate the lower portion of the canvas. Please see additional photographs under UV light examination.
