George Clarkson Stanfield (British, 1828-1878) From the Upper Ramparts

signed and dated 'G. C. STANFIELD/1868' l.l., oil on canvas, 112 x 89cm; framed 140.5 x 115.5cm, Sotheby's, London, 17 March 1999, lot 20. Exhibited: Royal Academy, London, 1868, No. 425. Condition Report, Condition Report, Craquelure. Faint stretcher marks. There appears to be some overpainting to the upper left edge and corner where there is a subtle difference in colour to the blue paint, however in our opinion the painting presents well overall when viewed on the wall. There is a little spotting to the reverse of the canvas however the front of the work does not appear to be affected. Examined under UV light, extensive retouching is visible to the upper left corner and the sky, with areas of infilling and overpainting in places. The varnish layer over the main building is particularly thick, obscuring any further restoration beneath. Please refer to the additional condition images for further details.
