A Dutch street scene

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Oil on canvas.
The canvas has been lined.
The painted surface has been cleaned in the past.
The paint layer appears to be secure and stable and shows a very fine pattern of ageing craquelures in the sky.
Examination under UV light shows very few spots of cosmetic retoucing, one possible filled in damage to the canvas in the sky. Minor other defects to the canvas along the outer edges.Overall the painting presents well in a period style gilt frame.
