Condition
The actual painting is softer and more brown in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The canvas is relined (glue). The paint surface appears to be in good condition, two small dents can be seen in the upper left corner and upper centre left, as well as a small tear of approx. 4 cm., also in the upper centre. The varnish is very dirty and quite dull and dry and fluoresces almost completely under Ultra Violet light. However, UV light does reveal minor strengthening in the statue to the upper right. Offered in a plaster and gilt wood frame, damages. (ML)

Catalogue Note
Charles Stoppelaer was active in Dublin and London as a portraitist and still life painter. While a few portaits of him are known, two located in public collections, Norfolk, this appears to be the first still life to have come to the market in a very long time.
