Description
- Vincenzo Chilone
- Venice, view along a canal with gondolas and figures at a fish market
- oil on canvas
Condition
The canvas is lined. The work retains good detail and reads well beneath a clear varnish. There is some more prominent craquelure visible in the water in the lower foreground. Inspection under UV reveals retouching to the sky, the most prominent being a horizontal line of repair of about 4 inches in upper left, as well as a line along upper edge, possibly to address an old stretcher bar mark. Fine lines and spots of inpainting scattered in architecture and foreground, with a more concentrated area in the stone of the far canal bank near the center. Offered in a simply carved gilt frame.
