Follower of Claude Lorraine Ferneley (British, 1822-1891) Study of a Chestnut horse with white socks and blaze, in a landscape, oil on canvas, 19½ x 23½In. (49.5cm x 59.5cm) *Provenance: Bears partial gallery label verso '81 London Street, Reading'
* Overall in a fairly tired condition. A prompt visit to a picture restorer would be advisable. Original canvas. Small oval shaped patch repair to reverse. Covered in a layer of dirt and discoloured varnish. Medium/widely spaced craquelure throughout, mostly stable although some areas are beginning to flake and require intervention. There are two areas of damage to the canvas, one just above the centre of the horses neck, the other to the left of the front hoof. These two damages have gone through the canvas and will need patching. Frame rubbing to edges. Several passages of overpainting and retouching are visible under UV, including most of the body of the horse, likely to repair the damage that required patching. For further information please contact the department.
