Jacob's Dream

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 composed of two vertically-oriented panels measuring 23 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches and 23 1/4 x 10 inches. The work has batons added to the right, left and lower edges. The upper and lower edges are beveled. The work with the batons measures 25 x 18 3/4 in. (63.5 x 47.7 cm.). There is a repaired crack near the left edge at center to the foliage in the background. The paint layer is stable and under a clear varnish that has slightly yellowed with age. Under natural light, retouching along the panel join, to the modern batons and a circle area at the upper center edge is visible. Inspection under ultraviolet light confirms the aforementioned restorations and some scattered areas of strengthening along the wood grain. The painting should be hung in its present state. The work is offered in a carved wood frame.
