In restored condition, relines, cleaned, and revarnished. Some surface dirt and discolored varnish in evidence. Slight stretcher shadow, surface lightly flattened from the restoration process. Varying-sized stable craquelure throughout. Evidence of retouching and restoration throughout the sky which is broadly more concentrated in four to five patches on the left-hand side. The rocks to the far distance are fairly flat in appearance and may have received a more consistent level of treatment with further general strengthening through the darker tones of the rocky outcrop within the foreground and strengthening to the detailing such as the wooden struts of the bridge. The outline of the centrally positioned tree and parts of the darker tones of the foliage has been retouched or strengthened with further general strengthening to the lower right foreground. Some of the very fine darker tones and definition in and around the figure group is likely added but the view of the lake and landscape beyond remains more intact. Otherwise in a stable and good state of presentation.

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 prospective buyers to inspect an item in person where possible. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers, or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

Regarding Pictures, Prints and Works on Paper, works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. 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.

We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.
