Edwin Deakin
(1838-1923)
"Light in the Window," 1889
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated lower right: Edwin Deakin / 1899.; signed again, titled, and dated verso
36 x 24 in.
Provenance:
Mrs. Frederick J. Bancroft, Denver, CO, purchased in San Francisco, CA, circa 1890
Mary McLean Bancroft, daughter of the above
Caroline Bancroft, from the above,
James L. and Kathleen D. Jansen, Atlanta, GA, from the above
Other Notes:
According to the provenance inscriptions verso, the present work depicts a side entrance to the Musee de Cluny, Paris. The building is an architectural "millefeuille" that combines ancient Roman structures, a 15th-century Gothic mansion, a portion of which is depicted in the present work, and modern extensions.
Condition
Visual: A pea-sized pressure mark in the upper right corner. Faint, unobtrusive scattered craquelure and faint stretcher bar creases and cracks also in places. Frame abrasion visible along the upper left edge. An old, discolored varnish layer. Blacklight: There is likely touch-up in the upper right corner at the above-mentioned pressure mark and also a few rice-sized spots just above it, there may also be other areas not seen due to varnish layer. Other, scattered vertical hairline areas that fluoresce (see center of the right side for an example) but it is unclear if these are touch-ups or uneven varnish application. Frame: 42 x 30 1/4 x 2 1/2 in.Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
