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.

Le tableau est peint sur un panneau parqueté. Le support est stable.
A l'oeil nu, on constate une restauration en haut à gauche, probablement due à un départ de fente, ainsi que dans le ciel en haut à droite et le long du bord gauche, probablement due au frottement du cadre. On constate un petit manque au-dessus de la chaumière.
A la lumière rasante, le tableau a fait l'objet d'un allègement partiel du vernis.
A l'UV, on constate les retouches précédemment mentionnées avec des traces de vieux vernis dans les bruns et sur une partie de la chaumière.
Dans un cadre en bois et stuc dorés avec un cartouche 'Jacques-François SWEBACH / 1769-1823' (approx. 41 x 50 cm.).
English
The painting is executed on a panel that has been cradled. The panel is stable.
The painting presents well in natural light, with the painterly approach to composition well preserve. There is a small area of restoration n the upper left corner associated with a minor panel crack. There is some retouching in the sky at upper right. There is some retouching along the left-hand edge, likely due to former frame abrasion. There is a small loss above the cottage.
In a raking light it can be seen that the varnish has been partially cleaned.
Examination under UV light confirms the above observations. There are traces of old varnish in the browns and over part of the cottage. The paint remains stable.
In a giltwood and gilt stucco frame (approx. 41 x 50 cm.).
