CASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH | Sonnenblick im Riesengebirge (Sunburst in the Riesengebirge)

The following condition report has been prepared by Hamish Dewar Ltd., 13 and 14 Mason's Yard, St James', London, SW1Y 6BU: UNCONDITIONAL AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE Structural Condition The canvas is unlined and is securely attached to what would certainly appear to be the artist's original keyed wooden stretcher. This is ensuring a stable structural support. Paint Surface The paint surface has an even varnish layer. The paint surface has an overall pattern of raised lines of craquelure which are stable. Inspection under ultraviolet light shows very small spots and lines of retouching above the lower edge and a tiny spot within the sky in the upper left quadrant. A few further tiny spots of retouching are also visible under ultraviolet light. Summary The painting would therefore appear to be in very good and stable condition and no further work is required.
