Description:

Karl Daubigny (French, 1846-1886)

Sailing Vessels Beached at Low Tide
Stamped signature "Karl Daubigny" l.r., inscribed "Ce tableau est de mon mari Karl
Daubigny/Sra. Karl Daubigny" in ink on the reverse.
Oil on panel, 11 5/8 x 19 in. (29.5 x 48.2 cm),framed.
Condition: Scattered minor paint losses, fine craquelure, surface grime.
Estimate $2,500-3,500

With a later handwritten note with biographical information on the Daubigny family affixed to the reverse.

Condition: The paint surface is stabile, with scattered minor paint losses and fine craquelure. Surface grime. UV examination shows a varnish layer across the lower 1/3 of the painting. The masts of the ship stand up under U.V., but do not flouresce - likely the dark brown pigment reads this way under U.V.
