This has been applied to consolidate and reinforce two horizontal fractures, one central and one 10cm up from the bottom edge. Both bear discoloured restoration to mitigate previous minor paint loss. A small 12cm repaired horizontal hairline fracture can be detected to the lower right corner. The paint layer is well preserved and the paint texture, particularly through the tree foliage is in a very good original condition. Natural thinness to the paint layer in the sky has been augmented and very minor loss, recently addressed, is visible under U-V light along with a discoloured and degraded varnish. The removal of the varnish would improve the overall tonality and chromatic integrity of the image. Many fine details are intact. It bears Brueghel signature lower right corner."In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.
