The Fish market in Groningen

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 not been lined.
The paint layer is secure and stable showing a pattern of ageing craquelures predominantly in the sky.
Examination under UV light shows a few scattered cosmetic retouches in the sky. Remnants of old discoloured retouches are visible in a few localised areas in the buildings.
Overall the painting presents well in a simple wooden 17th Century style Dutch frame.
