Description

  • Gaspard Dughet, called Gaspard Poussin
  • Landscape with classical figures
  • oil on canvas

Condition

The canvas is relined. The surface is dirty from an older discolored varnish. UV confirms this older varnish, which appears milky and rather thick. There are a few minor retouches underneath the varnish which are apparent as well under UV, but these are quite minor. A light cleaning would benefit the work, which would almost certainly brighten while retaining the detailing which is well preserved, especially in the green foliage. There are no major losses and overall in favorable condition. In a carved gilt wood frame.
