Lot description
Cecilia Beaux (American, 1855–1942) Portrait Sketch of a Woman Oil on canvas 16 x 13 in. (40.6 x 33cm) Provenance Kennedy Galleries, New York, New York. Skinner (now Skinner Bonhams), Marlborough, sale of May 16, 2008, lot 390. Acquired directly from the above sale. Collection of Charles and Virginia Bowden, San Antonio, New Mexico. The unlined canvas in overall fair to good condition. We notice evidence of flaking in the center of the painting, at center and center left. While the paint is not actively peeling off up, we do notice some missing flakes, which are indicative that the work may need to be restored and eventually lined. Examination under UV light reveals very small, localized areas of inpainting in the background at bottom left, bottom right quadrant and upper left along the top outer edge. The composition itself appears to be intact. See Specialist's pictures for more details. Frame: 24 x 21 x 1 1/4 in.
