Condition report: There are( and can only be noticed if the painting is lying flat on a table) two lines or light marks 2 cm apart and approx 8 cm long… which could be removed With light restoration in my opinion The lines cannot be seen when the painting is hung The two lines start from the middle of the picture And touch the sheep dogs’ rear end, and the other line Touches and finishes on the second sheep’s rear end. The marks do not show-up with any photo. The frame is missing a little gilt moulding piece on the middle LHS 4cm worth, and a small chip measuring 0.5mm on the RHS of the frame. This is a nice painting, paintings from this artist don’t come up very often on the open market, previous sales Have reached £30k at Christie’s of London, a slightly larger sized painting.
