. There is a horizontal line/ band of -retouching approx 3/4 of the way up the painting and runs the full width, which is probably restoration of an old split to the board / panel. There is a further vertical line running from the right hand side end of this downwards. There is further fairly consistent re-touching throughout the masonary and foreground. Some surface dirt and discoloured varnish. There is canvas laid onto the reverse. Some flattening to the surface. The paint is slightly thin in areas of the sky, possibly from an old clean or restoration process. Medium to large sized stable cracquelure throughout.

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.
