Condition Report:
The canvas is not lined and inspection under UV light does not reveal any signs of retouching. There is a varnish that appears to have been applied while the work was framed and so it does not reach the very extreme edges and has resulted in some fine milky white lines to parts of the left, right and lower edges. There is a small nail-sized hole to the centre of the lower edge and some light surface dirt. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places. This work is in overall good condition.

Condition 11 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) is not applicable to this lot.

Provenance:
Pr. Pieter Reinardus Hoornweg, Utrecht
Thence by descent to the present owner
