20th Century American School
Portrait of a Young Artist
Oil on canvas, unframed
24 1/8" x 18" actual
Other Notes: It has been suggested that the portrait bears a striking resemblance to early self-portraits of Edward Hopper
Condition
Canvas has been lined onto an unprimed linen adhered with BEVA; the original tacks have been replaced with staples. The supports appear original to the painting. There is a small dent with minor resultant loss at the lower right corner. The portrait appears partially cleaned while there is a thicker discolored natural resin varnish visible under UV light in the background and in the artist's palette. Retouch is visible above the artist's wrist (likely an old tear), along all outer edges, scattered in the right side of his face and ear, in his hand, and scattered throughout the background. Image would likely brighten with further cleaning but at a minimum with a varnish to see into the darker colors.
