LOT DETAILS

Materials:

oil on canvas

Measurements:

20.24 in. (51.40 cm.) (height) by 32.52 in. (82.60 cm.) (width)

Condition:

This work is in very good condition. The canvas is unlined and stretched on its original stretcher. There is one small reinforcement on the reverse attending to a small puncture in the lower center between the two gondolas. The canvas is noticeably relaxed in the upper right, and the cracking in the sky has become raised over time. While the work certainly does not need to be lined, the surface could be greatly improved. No retouches are visible under ultraviolet light. The work may have never been cleaned. No abrasion is visible. Carefully cleaning the work would reveal a beautifully preserved paint layer that would require very few retouches
