Slightly stiffly relined, cleaned and revarnished. The surface is slightly flattened and the paint has slightly thinned in places as a result of the restoration process, although some impasto is retained. Fine craquelure throughout but more notably to sky, with odd small area slightly more pronounced (see images). A degree of surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. Fairly sporadic retouching of varying sizes throughout sky, somewhat more concentrated top upper left hand corner and along horizon right hand side (see images). Further retouching and strengthening to triangular area in lower left hand corner, which is approximately 30cm on longest side. Sporadic small-scale retouches within the water and the land of the central and lower right hand side area and more sporadically extending from the more concentrated patch on the lower left hand corner, essentially along lower edge to roughly central point. Minimal, less notable retouches to other parts. Some of the structure and branches of the trees, especially on the left hand side and central area, are possibly strengthened, in addition to the roof of the building far right and some of the masonry and architecture in general, etc. Otherwise in a stable and presentable 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.
