Depicts a gentleman wearing a jacket and hat holding a money bag. Size of frame: 20.5 x 20.5 inches square; Size of panel: 12.5 x 12 inches; Size of front portrait aperture: 12 x 11.5 inches. Weight: 3.8 kg (allow 8 kg volumetric weight once packed). Condition commensurate with age - various superficial marks & scratches and lots of knocks to and pieces missing from gesso frame but all part of its charm and character. Please also note the panel is warped with a horizontal crack. The antique wood of this item has had a minor woodworm infestation at some point in its long life. However, this has now been specially treated to eradicate. Priced accordingly. This item is obviously delicate and the gesso frame fragile.

No refunds will be available for this reason nor can the item be returned.
