Domenico Robusti, called Domenico Tintoretto Venice 1560-1635

"The following condition report has been provided by Henry Gentle, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. The canvas is lined. Tears to the top edge, the background and the cape, right, have been consolidated. Two significant losses can be seen, one above the other, to the left of the sitter's head. Numerous small paint losses can be seen as well as abraded areas of paint , e.g. the sitter's face and the background."
"This lot is offered for sale subject to Sotheby's Conditions of Business, which are available on request and printed in Sotheby's sale catalogues. The independent reports contained in this document are provided for prospective bidders' information only and without warranty by Sotheby's or the Seller."

There is a visible pentimento in the window area upper left: the artist originally intended there to be a vase of flowers and subsequently painted this out (though it is faintly visible through the landscape).

We are grateful to Prof.ssa Paola Rossi for endorsing the attribution to Domenico Tintoretto on the basis of photographs.
