. In an overall good state of preservation. Covered in a relatively thick layer of dirt and discoloured varnish. There is an inconsistent but notable patch/patches of what looks to be incongruous over paint and infilling in the upper right hand corner. The tone of which is out of keeping with the rest of the sky and clouds and has a somewhat chalky finish (images can be supplied upon request. This area of seemingly incongruous paint is not evident under a UV light and is more visible with the naked eye). The canvas bears the date 1899 to the reverse. Some minor and isolated areas of fine stable craquelure.

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.
