Description:

Abbott Handerson Thayer (American, 1849-1921)

Mary, A Portrait of the Artist's Daughter
Incised signature "A.H. Thayer" l.l., titled on a label affixed to the back of the frame.
Oil on canvas, 15 7/8 x 10 in. (40.5 x 25.3 cm),framed.
Condition: Lined, minor retouch, craquelure.
Estimate $2,000-3,000

Canvas has been trimmed of its tacking edges, lined, and stretched on the new stretcher. Craquelure is stable but pronounced when viewed in raking light. Retouch primarily to fill craquelure. Small paint loss to l.r. corner. Surface imperfections or shrinkles along the right edge. It is possible that this work may have been cut down from a larger composition.
