LOT DETAILS

Materials:

oil on oak panel

Size Notes:

Please note, Condition 11 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) is not applicable to this lot.

Edition:

The oak panel is well preserved and almost completely flat, with all four bevels visible on the reverse. Ultra-violet light reveals retouching along the grain of the oak panel, mostly in the sky, but the painted surface appears to be in good order. The varnish has become a little discoloured and would benefit from a light clean. Simple but appropriate replica dark-stained wooden frame.
