- The Forge
- signed lower right: Hilleström
- oil on canvas, unlined
- 55.6 x 45.2 cm.; 21 7/8 x 17 3/4 in.
Condition
The painting is unlined, the paint surface is clean, and the varnish is clear and even. The original impasto paintwork is wonderfully well-preserved, particularly in the flames and sparks of the fire. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals an area of retouching in the dark background of the upper right corner, measuring approx. 3 x 3 cm. but the painting appears otherwise untouched and is in overall extremely good, original condition.
