Estimate £3,000-5,000

Oil on canvas cleaned and relined 20 - 30 years ago or more, canvas remains tight, paint rather dirty with a fine but stable craquelure running throughout, looks to have had some retouching to the folds, particularly the grey robes and highlights of the veil, with other small retouches through the skin tones and no doubt elsewhere, housed in an ornate 19th century giltwood and gesso frame which is in fair condition, Christie's stencil mark GZ465 verso and Sotheby's yellow chalk marks.
Probably late 18th century copy. No evidence of woodworm. Old fixing holes to frame
