Description

  • Domenicus van Tol
  • two ladies in a niche selling poultry and a hare
  • oil on panel
  • 34.3 by 28 cm.

Condition

The actual painting is deeper in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The single piece of panel is bevelled to all sides. One tiny crack of ca. 1 cm can be seen in the centre of the upper edge. Thinness can be observed in the darker areas, e.g. in the upper corners, in the blue cloth and in the clothes of the figures, otherwise the painting seems to be in good condition. Small retouchings can be seen in the clothes. The painting is covered with a dirty varnish layer and has a fine and dense craquelure pattern. Inspection under ultra violet light reveals a few retouchings e.g. in the background and in the niche. Offered in a carved and gilt wood frame, in good condition. (ML)
