Description

  • Pieter Andreas Rysbrack
  • a still life of game including duck and partridge, peaches, figs, grapes and fruit in a basket with flowers, a village landscape beyond
Oil on canvas in a gilt carved wood frame

Condition

The canvas has an effective relining. The paint surface appears to be stable, if a little flat, and preserved in fair condition under the discoloured varnish with some fine craquelure. Some of the darker tones have become rather sunken, for example lower centre. Inspection under UV light is inconclusive due to the reflective varnish. This large painting retains its strong decorative impact and is offered in a carved and gilt wood frame in fair condition but with some minor knocks.
