French School, 18th Century Style Portrait of a Gentleman in a Gold Coat Holding a Letter Unsigned. Oil on canvas, 31 3/4 x 25 1/2 in. (80.5 x 64.6 cm), framed. Condition: Scattered retouch, repairs and losses, surface grime, craquelure. The work has a glue lining plus multiple patches on the reverse. The retouch is scattered throughout, and appears to have been done over several restorations. Some of the retouch is to prior losses, and there are looses and flaking, primarily near the lower edge. The craquelure is stable. The painting might benefit from cleaning.
