Follower of Thomas Bardwell (1704-1767), An 18th Century English School Antique Oil on Canvas Portrait of an Aristocratic Lady

Description

A charming, beautifully executed, 18th century oil on canvas portrait of an aristocratic lady.

Undertaken by a follower of Thomas Bardwell (1704-1767).

The sitter and the artist are unknown albeit the portrait is clearly undertaken by an accomplished hand.

Presented in period gilt-gesso frame – possibly the original frame to the painting.

The painting bears a number of labels verso however these are very difficult to read.

Condition – Offered for sale as found. Clean and re-lined prior to our ownership. Some surface craquelure is apparent but is stable and this does not detract from the portrait which displays very well.  Please refer to the images. A further detailed condition report is available upon request.

Size: With the frame 91 cm x 80 cm (36″ x 31 1/2″) / Without frame 71 cm x 58.5 cm (28″ x 23″)
