Lot Note:
In 1979, an alternate attribution was suggested by Joop Nieuwstraten (1925-2016), then director of RKD, to the artist Dionys Verburg (1665-1722). However, the painting has been offered eight times at auction as by Dirck Verhaert, and RKD notes both artists as possibilities on their website.
Framed: 18 1/2 x 23 1/2 x 2 3/4 in.
Minor deposits of surface dirt and dust; a few minor, pinpoint brown spots scattered through the center; under a highly reflective varnish; otherwise appears in overall good and stable condition. Under UV light: thin, short strokes of inpainting in scattered areas throughout the sky, as well as in the pond in the lower center; the varnish has been selectively cleaned around the artist's initials. Additional images available upon request.
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. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.
The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
