Gaston Guignard (French, 1848-1922)
Shepherd and Flock among Haystacks
Oil on canvas

Signed lower left Gaston Guignard. 12 ½ x 16 inches (32 x 41 cm), the frame 18 ½ x 22 inches (47 x 56 cm). Gilt acanthus frame. Good original condition, unlined.

Four stacks, one shepherd, one black dog. The flock fills a narrow band across the field between the dog at one end and the man at the other, and behind them the stacks rise higher than anything else in the landscape, beside a darker mound of earth.

The sky takes up more than half the canvas, worked thin in greys with a single pale opening low on the horizon. Above the tallest stack the birds are set down one by one as small dark flicks of the brush. Below, the path crosses the foreground in straw and green, and the sheep move along it small, pale and pressed together.

Note

The back of the canvas still carries the stamp of the color shop at 46 rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette in Paris. The name printed largest is Alexis Ottoz. Beneath it, in smaller letters, comes Félix Voisinot with the abbreviation for successor. By the time this canvas was stretched and sold, Ottoz no longer ran the shop, and the new owner was still selling under his name. Because the canvas has never been lined, both men can still be read on it.

Condition report

Nothing distracting at normal viewing distance.

Good original condition. Surface stable, with a fine age craquelure across the sky, even and flat, normal to a canvas of this date. Old varnish, slightly yellowed. A small loss to the gilding on the frame moulding.

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.

Very goodThis painting

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.

Other grades

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.

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.
