GUSTAVE LOISEAU | Environs de Paris

Galerie J. Le Chapelain, Paris
Wally Findlay Galleries, New York
Acquired from the above in 1975

The work is in very good condition. The canvas is unlined. The surface is slightly dirty. There is some minor crazing in the white pigments in the clouds. There is one small hairline area of craquelure in the yellow house at right and a vertical line of craquelure running through the center of the composition. Under UV inspection, there are a few strokes of inpainting along the upper left edge and in the upper right corner, likely to address inpainting. There is an one-inch stroke of inpainting in the lower right quadrant.
