In restored condition. Fairly heavily cleaned and re-varnished. The shadowing and definition of the standing figure's face on the left hand side has been re-touched as have some of the delicate detailing of the game laying on the ground to the left hand side as well as the bridal of the horse, the definition of the mane, and the definition of the dog. There has been delicate retouching to old flaked paint, to the second catch within the central foreground and also the hind leg of the seated dog on the left hand side. The upper parts of the farthest away mountains have also had relatively minor restoration. The surface of the painting is somewhat flattened from the restoration process and the paint is thin in places, particularly within the sky and the face of the left hand side figure. Minor rubbing to outer edges.

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to Prospective Buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale.

We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a condition report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition.

 A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage people to see an item in person when possible.

Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

 Works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.
