Lot 787
19th Century oil on canvas "Two Tigers in Landscape with Mountains and River" 24" x 26" (small hole) £50-75

This lot is in a pretty poor state. There are actually two holes, one to the large paint loss of the top left hand side and another to the centre just above the standing tigers back. There is apint loss all over teh picture but the bottom is especially bad as it appears that there is a whole band of paint which is bubbling, rather like veneer on furniture when it gets damp. The whole picture is very dark adn whilst we can make out rocks to teh left hand side of the picture, we do not know what the background to the right hand side of the picture is like.The painting does not appear to be signed, nor has it had any form of restoration or repair.
