Condition

The actual painting is warmer in tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest. The canvas has been relined (probably glue). The painted surface seems to be in a satisfactory good condition. A horizontal strip of ca. 6-8 cm. can be seen along the top edge, this maye have been added; another smaller vertical strip of cavas can be seen running along its left edge, possible also an addition. The painted surface is covered with a craquelure pattern which is coarse in places. It is furthermore covered with a dirty and somewhat discoloured varnish layer. Strengthenings can be seen along the horizontal seam mentioned above, alomg left edge, in the tree line on the horizon on the left and in the sky area. Furthermore some discoloured retouchings can be seen in the lower foreground. Under UV The varnish layer fluoresces for some parts, showing the strengthenings mentioned above, and the discoloured retouchings and some scattered throughout. Offered with a plaster and giltwood frame.

拍品資料及來源

The view shows a wide panorama of the Rhine valley near the town of Rhenen in the east of Holland, with the Nederrijn river and the hills of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. As Mr. Laurens Schoemaker of the RKD in the The Hague has observed, the view is not fully topographically correct, but interpreted with artistic and painterly freedom. A comparable view, formerly in the Welcker Collection, was sold Amsterdam, Christie's, 11 May 2011, lot 51.

An infrared reflectography photograph, provided by the present owner, shows traces of an indistinct monogram(?) lower right.

We kindly thank Mr. Laurens Schoemaker for his help in cataloguing this lot.
