American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionists

The relined canvas in overall good condition. Examination under UV light reveals inpainting along the top outer edge of the canvas (which slightly juts out, due to the frame being too large). We also notice various repairs in the sky at upper center left, and upper center, the main areas of restoration being a repaired horizontal scratch of about 3 in long, and a circular repair above the tree at center left. The rest of the composition appears untouched (save for some fluorescing highlights, all due to the pigments used by the artist in our opinion). With remnants of old greenish varnish across the foreground, in the foliage. See Specialist's pictures for more details. 

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
