Areas of general strengthening throughout background with evidence of more sporadic and delicate spots of retouching which is more concentrated on right-hand side half and which extends through the upper part of the sitter's hair and to a lesser extent the lower tendrils. The folds and definition throughout her left sleeve also show signs of general strengthening. Face and flesh broadly intact with odd possibly very minor retouch. Further sporadic retouching within bodice. Now covered in a relatively thick layer of discoloured dirt and varnish.

Circle of John Riley (1646-1691)Portrait of a lady, half-length before a landscape, wearing a white silk dress and chemise with a red sash and a necklace of pearlsOil on canvas, 70cm by 58cmCondition report: Odd reline (see images). With potential slight extension to edges which is more extensive towards the upper edge and right-hand side at approximately 2-2.5cm at widest point, see images for change of surface and texture. Covered in a thick layer of dirt and discoloured varnish with some general rubbing and abrasions to outer edges and odd minor surface imperfection/scuff. Isolated areas of essentially fine stable cracquelure. Surface is somewhat flattened from the restoration process and the paint is thin in places such as her hair and drapery. All four edges showing general later paint most likely as a result of extension / odd losses and damage. There is little to discern in terms of later paint accepting aforementioned outer edges however it is likely that the outline between the face and hairline, her right-hand eyebrow and parts of the hair have received some general strengthening of some age. Otherwise in a broadly stable state of preservation.

Slightly stiff wax reline however surface retains a reasonable amount of texture and feel although some of the original impasto has clearly been slightly flattened from the restoration process. Delicate and sporadic retouching to upper left-hand corner with slightly larger retouches in evidence within the upper right-hand corner. Tiny retouches to old flaked paint within the face which is of a minimal amount and a slightly more concentrated patch of retouching within the upper right-hand side of her hair. The dark pigments at her left-hand shoulder running down to the bust is likely overpainted. Some of the general orche tone within her dress across right-hand sleeve and bodice have likely undergone strengthening as has the overall outline of her frame and the darker coloured drapery at her left-hand side elbow. Some of the finer wisps of her hair possibly strengthened in addition to elements of her eyebrows. The shadows and definition within the right-hand side white sleeve would look to have received some general strengthening. Areas of varying sized cracquelure and otherwise in a highly presentable state of preservation.

Provenance: Pilgrims Hall, near Brentwood, Ongar Road, Essex, commissioned by JFN Lawrence, whose family lived at the property 1913-1968Thence by descent to NW LawrenceThence by descent Lesley Lewis nee Lawrence in 1991 Footnote: The artist's visit to Pilgrims Hall and the commission is recorded by the Lawrence family as follows :"Rex Whistler was pale dark-haired young man, friendly but evidently shy, sitting out on the lawn on a very cold June day making a detailed pencil drawing, subsequently squared up for transfer. He ( Rex Whistler) spent the night and was very agreeable company. Delivery of the finished painting was considerably delayed by James Lawrence, a determined man, managed to get it from him a few months later. Possibly feeling rather contrite, the artist sent him two tickets for the dress rehearsal of "Victoria Regina" a delightful show for which he designed the scenery""James Lawrence, who frequented picture galleries and bought paintings, usually watercolours, went to an exhibition of pictures of country houses by Rex Whistler, and possibly others, and gave the commission there. At that time Pilgrims Hall, on which great care and imaginative planning were exercised, was perhaps at its very best. No more improvements were made to the garden before the war, and after that much of it had to be let go. The house is now (as written 1991) externally little altered however". Condition report: General surface dirt and discoloured varnish. Slightly loose in frame. Slight stretcher shadow most notably to top edge. Transfer of paint from frame to bottom edge.
