Painted on board, not canvas laid onto board. In generally sound, stable and original state of preservation, there is a layer of discoloured varnish across the surface, most evidently at or around the middle of the painting on the left hand side the varnish has drastically discoloured and is showing as a yellow coloured stain showing as a dripping mark, this effect is less so in some other areas, there are two small losses slightly to the right of the prominently discoloured varnish (on the left hand side centre). Good surface texture and impasto.

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.
