The example with sheep in a landscape: cleaned and re varnished. The background within the upper right hand quarter appears to have been broadly over painted. Further more delicate and minor retouching to majority of edges and some of the darker tones around the sheep and shadows etc.

The other example also cleaned and revarnished and would appear to be broadly un touched otherwise. Some surface dirt and disclosed varnish in evidence. There is the odd extremely fine and minor imperfection/scratch above the livestock of the first example. Otherwise in a good and stable state of preservation.

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.
