- signed lower right: T.Michau
- oil on panel
Condition
"The following condition report has been provided by Henry Gentle, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
The oak panel is cradled and there are some small unstable, horizontal splits appearing to the lower right and left with recent paint loss. There are some minor discoloured restorations to be seen in the sky and a filigree of pale shrinkage cracks in the foliage of the trees, left. The overall condition is good with areas that are well preserved. Removing the discoloured and degraded varnish would intensify the tonality.
Offered in a modern plain stained wood frame with a gold sight edge in good condition."
