Description:
Manner of Jean Jacques Henner (French, 1829-1905)
Portrait of a Redhead. Bears signature "JJ HENNER" c.l., inscribed indistinctly "...JJ Henner" on a label affixed to the reverse. Oil on canvas, 18 1/8 x 15 in., framed. Condition: Scattered retouch, minor surface grime.
Estimate $200-300
The retouch is dots, dashes, and scumbles near the edes of the work. There are minor losses at the edges, largely hidden by the frame's rabbet. The craquelure is stable. The work would benefit from cleaning.
