Circle of John Linnell (1792-1882) Portrait of a young man, half length, in a blue coat and white stock oil on panel 20.5 x 16.3cm Condition report: Oil on panel. The panel is in plane and the paint layer is stable overall. There are some textural irregularities across the surface due to the panel texture and impacts to the surface. There are touches of overpaint across the surface. These are well matched in the background. The overpaint is visible in the sitter’s hair as dark strokes, reinforcing the composition in this area. The varnish is clear and glossy with some surface dirt present. Frame dimensions 27.5cm high, 25cm wide, 5cm deep
