In fully restored condition. Fairly stifled relined, cleaned and revarnish with relatively high gloss finish. Each of the examples displays comprehensive strengthening throughout the sky mostly excluding the clouds.
Example with fisherfolk with baskets of fish in foreground – the brow of each ship and the end of the ships immediately behind the standing figures have been strengthened in addition to the outline of the basket held by the figure bending on the left. Paint slightly thin within the green of the landscape beyond. Surface slightly flattened former the restoration process. Extremely fine barely perceptible diagonal scratch within the varnish running from the sail through the landscape.

Other example- small patch of retouching within the hillside next to the far away beached vessel. Elements of the paint are thin mostly within the landscape. Each with light surface dirt and discoloured varnish. 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.
