Dionys Verburgh (1655-1722)

The painting is in good overall condition. The picture surface is stable; it has not been examined under UV, but the freshness of the colours suggests some degree of overpainting and restoration. There are some areas of chipping around the edges of the panel, especially towards the upper right corner. There is some abrasion/unevenness to the picture surface, perhaps caused by the restoration process and any varnishing materials or chemicals used. The most prominent area of wear consists of a horizontal join/repair to the lower third of the painting, which is clearly visible to the reverse of the panel.

All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of the sale. You acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type such that they are not in perfect condition. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may refer to imperfections of a Lot, but Lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the Catalogue or condition report. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and may not convey full information as to the actual condition of a Lot. You accept responsibility for carrying out your own inspections and investigations of Lots in which you may be interested. You should inspect a Lot before bidding to determine and to satisfy yourself as to its condition, size, description and whether it has been repaired or restored, as applicable, and we accept bids on Lots solely on this basis. Condition reports may be available to assist when inspecting Lots. Lots will be available for viewing in person at our premises or another location and viewing information will be available on our website.
