Cleaned and revarnished. Panel seemingly sound and stable. Light surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. Minor retouching along top edge and mostly upper 50% of left hand side edge. Further minor retouching to lower edge left hand side third in the main. Minor retouching to right hand side edge, mostly upper 50%. A small amount of essentially fine retouches within sky to right hand side and other fine and scattered retouches to sky mostly contained within upper left hand corner. Delicate retouching to the top of the larger stone nearest foreground and further very fine retouches presumably to old flaked paint just above lower edge right hand side.

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.
