GEORGE INNESS

New York/Massachusetts/Scotland, 1825-1894

Figures in a landscape. Signed and dated lower right "G. Inness 1888".

Provenance:

Private Collection, Connecticut.

Oil on canvas, 30.5" x 45". Framed 40" x 54".

Condition: Overall very good condition. The canvas is unlined and under UV examination there appears to be two to three generations of restoration. On the upper right there is a four inch line of recent in-paint, addressing a crease. On the lower left there are three recent spots of in-paint, one with a corresponding patch on the back. There are several areas of old reglazing, which are hard to get a accurate read on, on the middle left, the center of the tree and a small area on the right. The painting would benefit from a light cleaning and some fresh varnish.
