De Apport is a 19th-century French oil painting in the Realist style, depicting a hunting scene, and is sold with a frame.
Description from the seller
Hunting scene in oil on canvas. In the foreground a hunter with a cap and a double-barrel shotgun, with a pointer fetching a captured bird. Ahead, a second hunter shoots at game in flight while his dog stands. An open landscape with a hill crest, a pool, and a sunset with pink clouds.
Signed at the bottom right, but the signature is difficult to read.
Dating: estimated 19th century, ca. 1870–1910. This follows from the clothing, the type of gun, the canvas on an old spieraam (frame) with spieën (keys) and the frame.
Frame: gilded wooden frame with stucco ornaments (flowers and acanthus in the corners), in the 19th-century style.
Condition:
• Canvas: craquelure, especially in the sky, with small paint losses and crack lines in a regular pattern. Not varnished: the original canvas is visible at the back.
• Back of the canvas: old water stains.
• Frame: cracks in the miters, small flakings and damage to the ornaments, light oxidation of the bronze paint, and a damage at the bottom-right of the outer edge.
