Notes
Remarks: Canvas and frame conserved for Winter Antiques Show; canvas cleaned and re-varnished by Felicity Campbell (see Treatment Report); frame consolidated and areas re-gilded by Marylou Davis (see Treatment Report); some pre-existing separation at corners of frame; overall in very good shape.Notes
Remarks: Felicity Campbell examined the canvas for possible inclusion in the 2012 Winter Antiques Show Loan Exhibition: the varnish is opaque and very dark; there is a fair amount of dirt; canvas needs new non-acidic backing board; there is something between the canvas and stretcher at bottom edge (Campbell will investigate); cleaning and removing varnish, then re-varnishing will make a big impact; Marylou Davis examined the frame: frame needs a significant amount of work; some areas need to be re-cast; there is split/crack in the left side; also some regilding, some areas should have a high burnish (narrow high flat areas) while others will be softer so there is a bit of contrast; this frame is worth restoring in a more complete process [Jessa J.

Remarks: Minor cracking overall; possibile accretion (three small, brown circular stains) 3" from left 5 1/2 - 6" from top; frame outer edge upper left corner: crack 9" from top, 3/4 x 1/4" area of loss in egg and dart molding, gilt and gesso tenting; frame with minor cracking overall; other frame losses: minor overall, bead upper right corner, foliate loss upper left corner.
