Follower of Paolo UcelloPortrait of a woman in side profileOil on panelInscribed ALZETATIN (lower right)25.3 x 17cm (9¾ x 6½ in.)Provenance: From the private collection of Sir David and Lady ScholeySir David Scholey CBE FRSA achieved success as a merchant banker in the City of London during a career which saw him rise to become Chairman and Chief Executive of S G Warburg. A director of the Bank of England and governor of the BBC - his commitment to the arts was reflected in his roles as Chairman of Trustees of The National Portrait Gallery -as well as a Director of the London Symphony Orchestra and a trustee of Glyndebourne. A lifelong interest in music and art has been shared with his wife Alexandra and together they furnished Heath End House, Hampstead- once the residence of John Abbott McNeill Whistler. Regular purchases from the leading London antiques fairs and dealers allowed them to add to those pieces passed down from their families - including a special penchant for Chinese porcelain, English furniture and silver cream jugs. Sir David and Lady Scholey are now moving to smaller quarters in Florence and it is therefore time to scale down and let go of some of many of the antiques, paintings and works of art which have given them so much pleasure during a lifetime of collecting. Condition Report: The panel is bowed. There is a large area of loss approx. 1cm diameter to the right edge. There are a number of repairs throughout the panel, the most prominent being one to the sitter's left shoulder and one to the sitter's chest where there is associated loss, flaking and protruding blobs of a brown substance, presumably this was applied during the repair process. There is an area of lifting and uneven paint surface to the lower left edge. Significant surface cracks and scratches throughout. Areas of retouching visible in natural light. Inspection under UV reveals retouching throughout, the true extent of which is possible masked by a green cloudy varnish. Condition Report Disclaimer
