About this lot

Description

The Alderney, Cardiff Docks signed and dated 'Nan Youngman / 1960' (lower right); titled to the frame oil on canvas 44 x 75cm

Condition report: Oil on a fine weave canvas support which is unlined. The canvas tension is slightly slack and there are minor undulations across the surface. The paint layer is stable overall, there are a few light scuffs and scratches. There is a thin varnish layer which does not cover the whole surface but has been locally applied, probably by the artist. There are localised areas of reworking, for example around the top of the telegraph pole. The paint appears dark under UV light but elements of the finished composition cover some of the brushstrokes, it seems likely that this is artist reworking rather than later overpaint. There is a light layer of surface dirt. The frame has a white painted finish with is dirty with water staining in areas.
