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. Not lined. Some minor frame abrasion. Very fine lines of craquelure predominantly visible in the lighter pigments. Some soft undulation of the canvas and a pressure mark in the sky towards the upper left. Some surface dirt.
Examined under ultra-violet light. There is evidence of a small area of fluorescence at the right upper extreme edge to the aforementioned frame abrasion and two or three spots of retouching in the clouds. One possible further tiny spot in the river at the centre.
Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that this work appears to be in generally good condition.
