French School, 17th century
Allegory of Autumn
Oil on wood panel

Unsigned. 23 x 18 inches (58.5 x 45.5 cm), the frame 30 x 25 inches (76 x 63.5 cm). Painted wood frame. Panel sound in its bracing, lifting and small losses in the foliage at the right, a vertical split.

Two blades in one picture. The sickle is still in her right hand, and a larger scythe blade lies on the ground at her feet beside the heaped fruit.

A young woman sits barefoot at the foot of a fruit tree, in a loose golden dress, her eyes lowered and a horn of plenty filled with fruit resting against her shoulder. The tree above her is hung with red fruit among dark leaves. To the left the ground opens onto a harvested field, and beyond it thatched farm buildings and a haystack stand among tall trees under a pale sky breaking gold low on the horizon. The figure and the fruit carry all the light of the panel.

Condition report

Age shows from across the room.

The panel is sound in its later corner bracing, with the fine age craquelure of a seventeenth century panel. Lifting and small open losses in the foliage at the right show the red ground, and a vertical split runs down the panel, visible in the photographs.

What the grades mean

All grades are relative to the age of the painting. They describe the painting itself, the frame is described separately. Fine age craquelure is normal and never lowers a grade.

Stable and ready to hang, but wear or earlier restoration is noticeable at normal viewing distance, such as visible retouching, a discoloured varnish or scattered small losses.

Other grades

Very good

Stable. Only minor, old retouches or very small losses, not distracting at normal viewing distance. The canvas may have been relined or cleaned in the past.

Good

Stable. Signs of age or earlier restoration are visible on close inspection, such as small retouches or a slightly yellowed varnish. The overall appearance is intact.
