Third Quarter 18th Century
Height 34 x width 13 inches.
Property from a Private Pennsylvania Collection

Condition
Each example regilded but the gilding has age and appears to be professionally executed. Both examples with some old restorations, mostly visible on back where hessian was implemented to patch the restoration. The glass appears intact with a few scattered areas of flaking to silver backing. The example with the woman and child with two scrapes to the silver backing, this example with some separation and looseness to base of frame, would recommend stabilizing prior to hanging. Additional images available upon request.
