Lot 18: ADOLPHE-EUGÈNE-GABRIEL ROEHN | Louis-Philippe et sa famille en barque à Neuilly

Huile sur toile

65 x 81cm; 25 1/8 by 32 7/8 in

Huile sur toile

Good general condition. The varnish has yellowed : the painting would benefit from a light cleaning. An old tear, visible on the catalogue, appears in the sky on the left by the boat's left pole and the tree : the tear is square-shapped by the tree, and draws a thin vertical line from the tree to the poplar tree in the back. Under UV light, small restorations appear in the lower left corner and a spot by the frame in the lower right. The painting has a nice frame decorated with flowers and fruits.
