Spanish School, 19th century The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin oil on copper 40 x 32cm, in an ornate gilt gesso frame with a cresting of leaves, flowers and berries Condition report: Oil on metal panel. The metal support has a slight concave curvature but is generally in plane with no deformations. There are localised areas of raised paint and small losses although this is not extensive. Areas of retouching cover some of the old losses as well as abrasion at the edges of the painting. The retouching is very matte and has darkened. The varnish layer is glossy and even but slightly yellowed. The ornate frame is in a very good condition, the top ornament makes the work very top heavy and it is recommended that the current hanging system of string is replaced with something sturdier. Overall size including frame 81 x 52cm. Maximum depth of carved top approx 17cm
