Condition
VUE DE LA BAIE DE NAPLES Par rapport à la reproduction du catalogue, l'œuvre est moins jaune et les détails s'y apprécient davantage, notamment dans le groupe de personnages sur la berge. Il s'agit d'une huile sur toile qui a fait l'objet d'un rentoilage ancien. Son état de conservation est satisfaisant même si l'on regrette quelques petites pertes de matière picturale (quatre au moins) : deux se situent sur le bord gauche, une autre est visible en bas à droite et le dernier se trouve sur le bord droit. La toile est couverte d'un réseau de fines craquelures et l'on peut observer la marque du châssis. Quelques retouches décolorées sont visibles dans les parties foncées du ciel. L'examen à la lumière UV confirme la présence des retouches susmentionnées. En outre, le vernis sur le cheval brun paraît vieux et il y a quelques reprises sur les bords supérieur et inférieur. Hormis ces quelques remarques, le tableau est prêt pour un accrochage immédiat. VUE D'UN PORT MÉDITERRANÉEN PRÈS D'UN CHÂTEAU Ce tableau est dans un état de conservation satisfaisant et l'on n'aperçoit pas à l'œil nu de perte de matière picturale. La toile est couverte d'un réseau dense de fines craquelures. Contrairement à La Vue de la baie de Naples, on ne remarque pas de marque de châssis. L'examen à la lumière UV révèle quelques reprises dans la zone du ciel, le long du bord et dans le baril à gauche. En conclusion, cette paire se révèle très décorative et est présentée dans un cadre en bois doré et sculpté, lequel est agrémenté de motifs en forme de coquillage. A MEDITERRANEAN HARBOUR SCENE WITH FISHMONGERS AND AN ELEGANT LADY ON HORSEBACK, SHIPPING AND FISHERMEN NEARBY A FORTIFIED QUAY The painting is in fact less yellow in tone and more detailed, especially in the figures group, than the catalogue illustration would suggest. To the naked eye: The painting has been relined (old relining). We notice some small paint losses (at least four): two are located near the left edge, one is visible in the bottom right corner and the last one is on the right edge. The canvas is covered with a nice craquelure pattern. The stretcher mark is visible. Some repaints are visible in the darker area of the sky. Under U.V. light: The U.V. inspection confirms the repaints mentioned above. Also, the varnish layer on the brown horse seems old. We also notice some retouches on the upper and lower edges. Otherwise, the painting is in satisfactory condition and is ready to be hung. A MEDITERRANEAN HARBOUR SCENE WITH FIGURES DANCING AND MAKING MUSIC NEAR AN INN, HORSEBACK, SHIPPING AND FISHERMEN NEARBY A CASTLE-LIKE QUAY To the naked eye: The painting is in a very fair condition and no major paint losses are visible with the naked eye. The canvas is covered with a fine and tight craquelure pattern. Unlike its pendant, there is no stretcher marks visible. Under U.V. light: The U.V. inspection reveals some retouches in the sky area, along the edges and in the barrel on the left. In conclusion, this pair appears to be very decorative and is offered with a carved and gilded wooden frame.
