A study of four peasants

拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

oil on canvas
The canvas has been lined
The paint layer appears to be secure and stable
The painted surface appears to have been cleaned in the past
There is some nice impasto in localised areas.
Examination under UV light shows extensive restoration including retouching to a restored vertical tear through the figure on the left, scattered spots of reotuching throughout including to figure's faces and to frame abrasions at the edges. Some strengthening to the signature. An uneven varnish layer flouresces green.
Overall the painting presents well in a simple wooden frame with gilt innersection.
