- A dead swan and a mallard on a ledge before an extensive river landscape
- oil on canvas
Condition
"The following condition report has been provided by Henry Gentle, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
The canvas is lined, but this has degraded causing instability of the paint layer and to repaired tears in the sky and to other vertical damages. Old degraded restorations to the sky, the shadow of the ledge and the darker passages in the background can be detected. The paint to the birds, the figures and to the trees is well preserved, the paint texture here remains intact. The varnish is discoloured and has lost its ability to saturate the paint surface, removing it would improve the tonality."
