Description

  • Jean-François Millet
  • Au repos  
  • 15 by 24.5cm., 6 by 9¾in.

Condition

The panel is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals an uneven layer of residual varnish which has somewhat discoloured in time and is therefore also visible to the naked eye. There are no visible signs of retouching. This work could benefit from some light surface clean. Overall, this work is in good condition. Presented in a decorative gilt frame with a nameplate. Colours are somewhat warmer in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
