Follower of Sir Peter Paul Rubens Bacchus; A satyr a pair, oil on panel 16 x 14.5cm (2) Condition Report: overall: 25.5 x 24cm May be 17th century, but difficult to tell age. Both paintings are executed in oil on small wooden panel supports. The panels are in a good condition overall. The thin paint layers have areas of loss following the horizontal woodgrain and in localised areas the paint is slightly raised. Areas of loss have been retouched, the overpaint has darkened over time, particularly evident around the head of the Satyr. The overpaint lies beneath the varnish which has yellowed with age. The varnish layer on the Satyr has an uneven surface texture making the painting problematic to read in normal light. There are small scuffs and scratches across the surface of both works.
