Adelsteen Normann (1848-1918) Norwegian
A Norwegian Fjord
Signed, oil on canvas, 62.5cm by 95cm
Sold for £2,600
Estimated at £3,000 - £5,000
Fairly siffly relined, cleaned and revarnished. The paint is slightly thinned and somewhat flattened as a result of the restoration process. Various medium to large sized essentailly stable craquelure throughout which is more evident across the sky and mountains. Some surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. There is little to easily discern under a UV light but it would seem likely that there has been some fairly consistent strengthening throughout the sky with likely some infilling to old craquelure. Some of the darker tones of pigment to denote the dappled light on the expanse of water may be additions. Likely retouches to edges and corners. For further information please contact the department.
