Setting out to sea, a farewell to father

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 paint layer appears to be secure and stable showing minor flatness due to relining. There is a fine pattern of ageing craquelures visible on closer inspection throughout.
Examination under UV light shows cosmetic retouches to some of the background craquelure and other minor defects.
Overall the painting presents well in a period style gilt frame and is ready to hang.
