There are areas of restoration in the sky, in numerous areas which are camouflaging scratches or areas which have been rubbed or had missing paint. There are areas of re-touching in the lower right corner and paint shrinkage in places. Good mahogany panel with a Marie Louise Fine Art label to the reverse (dealers in Nottinghamshire). Under UV the signature appears to be contemporary with the paintwork although various scratches and scuff marks are showing up. There is also an area of rubbing and restoration in the sky in the upper right hand corner, probably caused by the scuffing of the work, rubbing against the rebate of an old earlier frame. 210312

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.

Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.
