Painting "Portrait of a nobleman with a bow tie" XIX° HST (for restoration)

Oil painting on embedded canvas representing a portrait of a nobleman with butterfly knots. Very nice workmanship. I clearly specify (thank you for looking at the photos, contractual) that this work, dating from the nineteenth century, is clearly sold for restoration. It has obviously already been re-canvased (by a professional) but remains several rather clumsy later retouching (cracks of seniority, retouching and millimetre lack of pictorial material). The pictorial layer is healthy, the canvas well stretched, the varnish quite shiny and can be cleaned). I am happy to answer any questions. For any additional questions or sending photos, do not hesitate to contact me directly (my contact details appear at the bottom of the page: sylvere.carlier@neuf.fr ). Chassis dimension: 35.5 / 45.5 cm.
