DUTCH SCHOOL (17TH CENTURY) Portrait of a Man in Neck Ruff oil on board 34 x 22 cm (13 1/2 x 8 3/4 in.) initialed lower right? CONDITION Observed in frame, the work is in overall good condition. Would benefit from a light cleaning. Fine age-appropriate vertical craquelure overall. In raking light, an arched 11-cm-long scuff apparent across the man’s cheek, and scattered other scuffs besides, without loss to the paint layer. Several pinhole-size losses in a horizontal line at the middle of the beard. Inspection under UV light shows retouching to the face and ruff (apparently to areas of past overcleaning), overall to around 40% of the overall surface. N.B. All lots are sold in as-is condition at the time of sale.
