Property from the Estate of Paul KasminFrancesco GuardiVenice 1712 - 1793Portrait of a boy of the Gradenigo family, possibly Ferigo (Born 1758), full length, with his pet dove on a ribbon, a white rabbit in the background oil on canvascanvas: 37 by 29 1/8 in.; 94 by 74 cm.framed: 45 by 36 1/4 in; 114.3 by 92.1 cm.Condition reportThis painting has not been restored recently, although it presents itself well. It is under a dry varnish, slightly dirty. Overall the painting is in good condition. As noted in the catalogue, at some point most likely in the 19th Century, the painting had an addition to bring it to a full length. Under UV, there are scattered touches here and there in the sky and throughout. There is a restored area in the extreme lower left corner about 2 inches square, and another on to the right of that in the ground, possibly addressing an restored tear. There is a restored damage in the nose and lips of the sitter, although otherwise, there are not many other significant touches. This certainly could be approved with some work. Offered in a modern black and gilt wood cassetta style frame. The lot is sold in the condition it is in at the time of sale. The
