EARLY 19TH CENTURY ENGLISH SCHOOL "Gentleman in black stock, waistcoat and overcoat", a portrait study, miniature oil on ivory, unsigned, housed in a gold coloured frame with suspension loop and latticework hair verso, 5.3 cm x 4.4 cm (ILLUSTRATED) CONDITION REPORTS Gold mount has some rubbing and general wear conducive to age, glass front is quite dirty underneath bottom edge, as unable to open it is very difficult to judge whether it is just the glass that is dirty or if there is a little bit of damage towards the right-hand lower section of his overcoat by the collar, and it is again a little bit difficult to judge around that bottom edge whether there is any further damage due to the dirt under the glass, however the main picture - face, etc. - appears to be in generally good condition with very strong colours, the hair at the back appears to be in reasonable condition with a little deterioration along bottom edge and is slightly raised in the centre.
ENGLISH SCHOOL "Young lady with ringlets and leaves in her hair, in a shoulderless white lace dress", a portrait study, oval, miniature oil on ivory, unsigned, housed in a gold coloured frame and leather covered outer case, 7.3 cm x 5.8 cm (ILLUSTRATED) CONDITION REPORTS Overall with some general wear and minor scuffs.

ENGLISH SCHOOL "Gentleman with auburn hair in black stock and overcoat", a portrait study, oval, miniature oil on ivory, unsigned, together with another by the same hand of the same gentleman (2), 7 cm x 5.5 cm (ILLUSTRATED) CONDITION REPORTS Both frames/mounts are very dirty with signs of rubbing and general wear throughout. The back of the one which is turned is very rubbed and dull and flat towards the outer section where it has clearly been handled over the years. The other which has an open back - the hair is slightly coming apart and the green silk shows various areas of staining/water damage along the top and bottom edge (please see photo). The one with the hair appears to have had a replacement ring at the top - not original and does not really match, and picture is extremely dirty under the glass and is slightly mildewed and it is therefore difficult to judge if this has affected the lower section of the picture, however the top section colours appear good and strong, has clearly got damp at some point. The other picture - again the glass is slightly dirty on the lower section, it is a raised glass, the picture itself although probably a little dirty, appears reasonable, there is a little damage to the top right corner right on the edge of the picture. Both pictures would benefit greatly from sympathetic restoration.
