A Lady Artist, Inspiration
signed and dated 'E G Girardot: 1869' (lower left) and inscribed 'A lady artist/Inspiration.E. G. Girardot:/60 King Henry's Road/London. N.W.' (on the reverse)
oil on canvas
30 x 25 in. (76.3 x 63.5 cm.)

The picture is on its original canvas and is in its original rectilinear frame. As visible in the catalogue illustration the canvas is very dirty and there are scattered scuffs and small tears, one of which has been patched. The picture would benefit from lining and a thorough clean but should respond well to treatment.
