WALTER GREAVES (1846-1930) Portrait of Henry Greaves (1844-1904), the artist's brother

The painting is generally in good overall condition. The picture surface is stable, with a glossy varnish layer and prominent areas of largely horizontal craquelure throughout. Canvas surface tension is good. The painting appears to have been relined and restored since its original execution. There are areas of potential dirt towards the lower middle left of the picture surface, as well as some other small, minor abrasions scattered across the picture surface. The frame is in good condition. Please see additional images available on request.
