Flemish School, late 17th century
A Concert of Putti in a Landscape
Oil on panel

Unsigned. 9 x 6 ½ inches (23 x 16.5 cm), the frame 15 x 12 inches (38 x 30.5 cm). Gilt palmette frame with a beaded inner molding, in good original condition.

Not one of the five children is looking at another.

Two of them play. The boy at the right holds his oboe up and out, cheeks full, while the dark-haired child at the center plays a second one held straight down, its bell resting on the grass. Around them three others are busy with the music itself. One kneels at the left over an open part-book, one lies flat on his stomach at the right with another book under his elbow, and the blond child in the middle rises among them with a pink drapery across his lap and one hand lifted in the air. Behind the group a bank of broken rock rises into trees, and the sky beyond turns grey with cloud.

Note

For most of the 17th century the double reed was the shawm, an outdoor instrument loud enough to lead a procession. Around the 1650s it was remade in France, in jointed sections and with a narrower bore, and the work is usually credited to the Hotteterre family of instrument makers. The new hautbois was quiet enough to sit indoors among strings. Within a few decades it had crossed the northern border. Here it is on a Flemish hillside, played by a child with full cheeks.

The back of the panel was never thinned or cradled, and the marks of the plane still run with the grain.

Condition report

Age shows on close inspection.

Good original condition. The panel is stable, never thinned or cradled. A fine pale line crosses the back, with nothing showing on the painted face. Small losses to the gilding of the frame.

GoodThis painting

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.

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.

Fair

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.

Needs conservation

Visible damage a conservator should treat, such as flaking, a tear, larger losses or heavy old repaint. Every issue is shown in the photographs.
