Fisherfolk and horsemen on a beach

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The canvas is reinforced on the reverse with a glue lining. The varnish is cloudy and yellowed and the paint stable on the support. There is a fine craquelure visible in natural light. A handful of discolored areas of retouching are visible in natural light, including to address a few tears, the largest of which measures approximately 4 inches in length in the sky above the boat at center left, and what appear to be two small punctures in the sky. Further scattered strokes of strengthening fluoresce to reinforce the contours of several of the figures and animals on the beach. The painting can be displayed in its current state but would likely benefit from a cleaning and refreshment of the varnish.
