ENGLISH SCHOOL, EARLY 18TH CENTURY | Portrait of a young girl with her King Charles spaniel

The colors of the actual painting appear to be lighter than in the photograph. To the naked eye : The painting appears to be in a good overall condition. The canvas has been relined but remains supple. We notice some visible restorations especially in the brown of the dress, above the left eye of the girl, her neck, and along the contours of her face. Under UV light : The varnish is distributed relatively homogeneously across the painted surface. The following restorations are visible : the ones visible to the naked eye, as well as some scattered throughout.
