After TitianFloraoil on canvas78 x 63cm A copy of the painting in the Uffizi Galleries, Florence.Condition report: Oil on canvas which is unlined. The canvas tension is adequate, there are minor undulations across the surface. An old damage has been repaired from the reverse with a canvas patch at the upper edge. There are localised areas of vertical cracks in the paint layer, some of which is slightly raised.

English School, c.1805Portrait of a General officer in uniformminiature on ivory7.1 x 5.7cm, oval, in a gold frame with blue enamel, plaited hair and vacant collets verso, tested as approximately 9ct goldThis is a portrait of a General officer of the period c.1805. His exact rank is determined by the arrangement of the buttons on his tunic and the chain pattern lace on the facings. The sitter’s buttons and lace are grouped in threes, as worn by a Lieutenant General. The curious black line across his brow looks to be an eye patch, albeit that the patch itself appears to be over the sitter's right ear. This unusual arrangement may have been for reasons of both vanity and accuracy.We are grateful to Christopher Joll for his assistance with this catalogue entry.Condition report: Colours a little faded. Some yellowing, especially in the sky and on the white blouse. Some flecks of dirt lower left. There appears to be a little damage in the form of tiny scratches to the left of the buttons although these may be intentional, also in the armpit. The paint on the shoulder looks a little faint, possibly rubbed. Dirt on the glass. Some deep scratches to the glass near the centre. A couple of light dents to the cases, and stickers and remnants of stickers verso. There are spaces where once there were pearls verso.
