      I'm with you on this. I've seen several videos of this appraiser evaluating paintings, and I found all his prices surprisingly low. He said this was in very good condition but it looks quite scuffed and damaged to me. I think it will cost a lot to have repaired, but then I think the big money will appear at auction.

    The head of the sister to the right looked rather worn to me, actually missing bits of paint. That's why I think it was somewhat curious to hear the expert say that the painting was in good condition. All things being relative, I guess that as a close to 200 year old painting (at the time), it's been kept quite well.

I remember seeing Beechey's "George III and the Prince of Wales Reviewing Troops" back in 1974. It was the only painting to be destroyed in the Windsor Castle fire as it was too big and heavy to move (13' 8" x 16' 6")
