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.
This painting is executed on a uiformly thin sheet of copper, which has been adhered to a wooden frame on the reverse. The paint layer is stable under a clear varnish. There is some frame abrasion along the extreme edges, but these are hidden by the rabbet of the frame. Inspection under ultraviolet light revealed minimal retouching to the sky at upper left, to the darkest areas of shadow in the wooded area, and a few strokes scattered in the landscape and figures. The painting presents well overall and can be hung in its present state. It is offered in a simple Dutch style frame.
