There is a small 4cm curved raised ridge in the sky with minor paint loss. The paint layer is well preserved and is stable and secure. U-V light shows a scattering of microscopic pin prick paint losses across the sky and into the water that have been carefully and sensitively reduced with recent restoration. Fine details, particularly through the figures, are well preserved and the energetic textured brushwork and impasted highlights are retained. An area of natural thinness to the more thinly applied paint can be seen beneath the carts and horses in the foreground. Removal of a patchy discoloured varnish would improve the chromatic and tonal integrity of the composition. The buildings through the mid ground have lost some of their modelling, a result of compromised glazing in this area. Overall, the painting presents well. The signature is well preserved."In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.
