Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876)
"A View Near Richmond, Yorkshire"
Oil on canvas, 59cm by 105.5cm
Sold for £480
Estimated at £400 - £600
In a fully restored condition, fairly stiffly relined, cleaned and re-varnished. The surface has been somewhat flattened from the restoration process, some surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. Slight stretcher shadow mostly to upper horizontal. It is likley that a good amount of the sky and the water has received some general strengthening in addition to some much more delicate retouches to the outer edges of the far left cloud and within the upper right-hand corner of the sky some of which are evident by eye. Some of the delicate spots of darker pigment within the foliage along the horizon line, possibly retouched or strengthened. Otherwise in a stable and presentable state of presentation.
