拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
The painting is executed on canvas which has an old lining. The canvas is held under adequate tension. Examination in natural light reveals a network of craquelure across the surface of the painting, particularly visible in the lighter tones of the sky. Along the top edge some craquelure appears slightly raised and would benefit from monitoring. Minor thinning to the upper paint glazes is present, particularly visible in the darker tones. A reverse-L shaped damage through the centre left and upper centre is visible, with pinprick losses.
Examination under UV confirms the above and reveals several campaigns of strengthening to the aforementioned darker tones, and scattered retouching throughout. A partially-removed cloudy varnish precludes further analysis, but additional restoration is to be presumed.
