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 large painting is supported by a glue lining on the reverse and is stable on its stretcher. The paint layer exhibits an uneven craquelure across the surface. In natural light, frame abrasions and associated repairs are visible at the extreme edges, additional areas of restoration are visible scattered in the sky. Inspection under ultraviolet light revealed some strengthening to the tent at left, scattered in the figures, and to the foliage and architecture at right. The painting presents well and is offered in a Dutch style frame.
