Additional Notes & Condition Report
Dirty varnishes. Unframed. Reverses have been painted, for reinforcement? or another purpose. No apparent restoration.
Boating: light scattered craquelure along bottom and bottom right corner.
Bridge: Scattered craquelure, heavy at times, resulting in scattered paint loss (several spots - upper left center; far left center; upper center; far right center). There is an area of the painting (1/2 on the right and bottom) where the artist used too much oil when he mixed his pigments and when the paint dried it buckled ( much like some of Inness' painting; Blakelock; etc...) Signature on this painting fluoresces.
