Literature
Notley Abbey Inventory, April 1948, p. 3, Dining Room, 'A Dutch oil painting on copper, Landscape with figures, Horse and Cart in the foreground, 13½ X 14", by Jan Brueghel De Velours 1568-1625, framed' [sic], (The Vivien Leigh Archive, Victoria & Albert Museum, London, THM/433/6/1).
Condition
The panel is flat and uncradled with two horizontal splits, one in the centre and one closer to the lower margin, both with some small associated paint losses. There are some white surface accretions around the horse's head and a small damage at the top right corner. Inspection under UV light reveals retouchings along the aforementioned splits and a handful of other minor, scattered restorations. The varnish is even and somewhat discoloured. Offered in a painted and gilt wood frame in good condition.
