Early 18th century English School, oil on canvas, Portrait of a gentleman wearing a lace stock, 74 x 62cm
Estimate £200-300

Oil on canvas, re-lined many years ago, canvas remains tight, paint a little dirty with fine but stable craquelure throughout. It would benefit from a clean, tiny amount of scuffing near the lower left margin. A few small paint specks, probably re-touched, particularly at the corners where it is painted to the oval. Later gilt scroll frame.
Provenance - private client, has been shipped from Spain to UK.
