Condition
The actual painting is less red and softer in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The single panel has a slight convex bow and is bevelled to the reverse. The paint surface is under a dull and milky varnish. The paint layer is secure if a little thin in the house and horse and figure lower left. A few tiny scattered restored losses are visible in the sky. Inspection under UV light confirms the aforementioned retouchings and reveals additional strengthenings in some of the figures.
Offered in a later ebonised black wood frame in good condition.
