Image description

Winchcombe Henry Eyre-Hartley and his sisters Charlotte and Mary In a recent cleaning of this portrait, an image of the children's mother emerged from behind the present paint layer and her form is barely visible on the right side of the canvas. The accompanying x-ray scan indicates the mother's figure and original position more clearly. Evidence suggests that the mother was painted out within ten years of the original commission. She may have re-married or passed away, hence her removal from the canvas. (May 2006)
