4.14.26-**Please note this is one of four works in this auction offered as three separate lots, which may be assembled to form a continuous pastoral scene, though each panel may also be displayed independently** In my opinion regarding LOT: I am not an expert on such works, the canvas has been stabilized through relining, several vertical seams run the length of the composition possibly indicating how the original canvas was constructed from joined sections, a UV inspection reveals craquelure, scattered areas of inpainting and a few possible small stabilized repairs, there are two deep abraded losses to the lower left canvas with small stable punctures/tears, please see images, there is a small abrasion at the lower right as well, there are minute scattered paint flakes and minor blemishes, and overall light surface grime and mild discoloration, please refer to the online images for a view of the rear canvas, the frame appears stable with age related lines, chips and losses to the decorative trim and molding, accompanied by areas of gilt loss and exposed gesso, all mentioned commensurate with age and display
