A view of Cowdray Park from the northwest

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 panel is approximately ¹⁄₄ inch thick and is not reinforced on the reverse. It exhibits beveling on all four edges of the reverse. The panel bows very slightly from top to bottom. Under natural light, the varnish is slightly yellowed. A few drying cracks are visible on the grass at lower center, and two approximately 5 inch horizontal passages of discolored brown retouching are visible in the sky, apparently corresponding to two scratches. Under ultraviolet light, additional scattered touches fluoresce in the sky, along with strengthening to the contours of the horse and to the tree trunk at left. Conservation to correct the discolored passages in the sky would greatly improve the appearance of this painting.
