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 an is on its original stretcher, which is providing good support.
The paint layer is secure and stable, the painted surface has some minor surface dirt and very minor varnish discolouration. There are some nice impastos intact.
Examination under UV light shows some sensitively handled spots of retouching predominantly to the upper right in the sky.
Overall the picture presents very well in an ornate period style gilt frame.
