Circle of Mary Beale (1633-1699)Portrait of Katherine Lowther, Duchess of Bolton (by repute), head and shoulders, wearing a white dress and blue sash, in a feigned ovalOil on canvas, 74.5cm by 56cm Glazed. Reline likely relatively old clean and revarnish. Covered in a layer of dirt and discoloured varnish, due to the glazing it is less easy to fully discern the surface however clearly evidence of impasto remaining although parts of the drapery show filling of paint in areas. Visible stretcher shadow, slightly more prominent along top edge. Areas of fine stable cracquelure mostly within areas of more thickly applied paint. Some general strengthening throughout background. The hair shows more solid and consistent good sized circular patches of retouching and restoration. Delicate infilling to old cracquelure through face of a fairly low level. Odd small patch of more concentrated retouching to nose and left hand side point of lip which joins the cheek and small cluster left hand side of chin. Likely area of retouching and overpainting across the left shoulder and the flesh which sits against the white chamois. The shadows and definition of the drapery throughout the teal coloured silk dress show signs of general strengthening. Otherwise in a stable state of preservation.
