The rabbit on the wall

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.

The painting is on a panel support, made up of a single board. Framing batons have been attached to the vertical edges and the lower edge of the panel. The support is stable. In natural light the painting presents very well. The paint glazes are finely executed and remain stable. Examination under UV light reveals a passage along the bottom of the panel and up the right hand side that has an historic clean, with some associated minor scattered retouching. The remains of the old varnish can be seen on the rest of the panel. There is some further minor scattered retouching to the background.
