Fernand Marie Eugène Le Gout-Gérard (1856-1924) French
''Bateaux Pecheurs''
Signed, oil on canvas, 36.5cm by 53.5cm
Provenance: Walker Galleries, Harrogate
Sold for £1,800
Estimated at £2,000 - £3,000
Unlined, all keys present, slighly slack canvas. Extensive varnish/adhesive stains on the reverse. A few small scale low bulges associated with cracks/blows, including one to the left of the largest sail which has some associated tiny flaked losses. Most notable are the vertical cracks to the left of the figures on the dune. These have been raised in the past and consolidated, which has flattened and slighly polished the tops of the cracks, and are still slighly raised but stable (see images in raking light). Fairly even, glossy varnish. Light surface dirt and accretions.
