A hunting party

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 oak panel is stable, with a cradle attached to the reverse. There are a few scuff marks along the left edge, consistent with frame wear, and some minor scratches to the varnish lower centre. The examination under UV shows some scattered retouching and strengthening, with a heavier varnish in some parts. The grain of the wood is faintly visible through some of the thinner glazes. Overall the picture presents well.
