Attributed to Johann Jakob Frey (Swiss 1813-1865)

Ruins in Karnak, Egypt

oil on canvas
55 x 100.5 cm, framed 118 x 74 cm

The canvas has been lined. Craquelure is visible throughout. There are spots of surface dirt throughout, and a few pin prick losses of paint. UV light reveals retouching to a large S-shaped damage to the centre of the composition. Additionally there are scattered areas of infilling and retouching. However an opaque varnish makes a UV reading difficult.
