The grain direction is horizontal. On the reverse, towards either end of the panel there is a narrow vertical batten attached cross grain. This is presumably to decrease any natural curvature of the panel. There are many tool marks visible on the reverse. The panel retains its original thickness. The paint and ground layers are stable, with no signs of flaking or recent losses. The painting has passages of retouching, particularly so in the lower left foreground; some retouchings in the darker passages sit physically proud of the panel surface. Some correction of old retouchings have been undertaken recently. The varnish is somewhat discoloured, and locally streaky. There are accretions imbedded within the coating. Discoloured retouchings were matched to the patinated surrounding surface using Gamblin Conservation Colours, and the level of patination across the varnish surface was regularised by further glazing with the same material. The surface gloss is even and saturating."In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.
