Condition:

All four canvases are tightly relined and stable on their stretchers. Detailed landscape images read well beneath clear varnish. A fine web of craquelure is present throughout each painting and is stable and not distracting. No areas of loss or repair are visible to the naked eye. Under UV inspection, the varnish fluoresces unevenly on all four painting, and each has scattered thin retouching to address craquelure and small losses, mostly concentrated in the sky of each. The first image has a repaired T-shaped tear or loss in the sky not visible to the naked eye. The third image shows retouching to address frame abrasion along the left edge and more extensive retouching in the sky than in the other images. The paintings can all hang in their current state. Offered in matching simply carved giltwood frames with scattered paint losses
