 follower peter lely  head and shoulders portrait of a gentleman

wearing a white powdered wig. The gentleman in question , is as yet  unknown, but certainly has the look of an aristocrat. oil on canvas, housed in later gilt frame
The painting is 57cm by 44cm (17½ x 22¼ inches high) whilst overall is 58½ x 71 cm (23 x 28 inches high)
The condition overall is very good having been relined and cleaned. There is some cracquelure throughout
and some areas of retouching a few minor abrasions and losses to the background
mainly edges by frame non of which detract from this fine piece.
