Continental School, probably North European (18th century) Portrait of a young gentile boy standing wearing a green frock coat, a yellow waistcoat, a white shirt with frills to the cuffs, a pair of fine yellow boots, and a powdered wig, resting on a cane in his right hand, with an embellished tricorn hat placed on a table to his left Oil on canvas, 102cm by 70.5cmIn fully and heavily restored condition. Fairly stiffly relined, cleaned and re-varnished. Surface somewhat flattened as a result of the restoration process. Slight buckle to lower right-hand corner. Small amount of fairly minor surface scratches within upper right-hand corner, see image. Areas of minor and sporadic rubbing to edges, especially upper edge above standing young gentlemen's head. A good amount of fairly consistent retouching, repairs and restoration throughout the painting but briefly summarised as various areas throughout the background most consistently right-hand side, upper left-hand corner and left-hand side background with some slightly more defined areas of retouching to old flaked paint, right-angle likley old tear with associated retouching within background in line with the curls of the young gentlemen's left-hand side wig approx 3cm on each arm. The restoration and overpainting becomes more consistent within the background below the young gentlemen's right-hand elbow. Further varied patches to the foreground including long line of strengthening along the left-hand side of his cane and further areas of retouching with more notable patch across part of his right foot and upwards into the background. Consistent patch of overpainting in the foreground below the table top against the right-hand side edge which covers roughly 40% of that area. Further notable patches of retouches broadly within lower 25%. Consistent retouching and overpainting to his coat, left-hand side. Various strengthening throughout his waistcoat with numerous patches of retouching and later paint possibly of a different date. Notable patch of restoration and overpainting within lower right of gentlemen's wig extending down far right of his forehead through his left-hand temple intercepting his cheek, his jaw and sporadic retouches to his right-hand side of nose extending down through lip and chin with more sporadic retouches to forehead and rest of wig. Fairly consistent retouches and infilling to both hands and a good amount of the red ribbon worn at his right wrist.
