David Roberts RA
(1796-1864) Scottish
“Old Warehouse – Rouen”
Signed and dated 1861, oil on canvas, highly likely to be original frame.
34.5cm by 24.5cm
In fully restored condition. Relined, cleaned and revarnished. Surface flattened and abraded by restoration process. Many areas of thin paint, flattened impasto etc. Now with surface dirt and discoloured varnish in evidence. Uneven canvas.
Patch of small sized, stable craquelure to just above centre of painting within the sky, although not exclusivley. Frame rubbing to edges. Area of repaired damage visible with eye to brickwork of building just to right of centre. Patches of retouching, infilling and overpainting throughout, notably to woodwork of building centre left, outline of figures to lower right, composition of central group. Almost the entirity of the sky has been repainted, and several patches of the building to the right hand side in and around the aforementioned area of damage have also been overpainted/strengthened. In comparison with the extensive campaign of restoration and retouching elsewhere, there is no evidence to suggest that the signature has been added or strengthened.
