Medium: oil on canvas laid on wood. 
Size: 20.5" x 30.5"
Frame size: (please inquire for frame measurements)
Subject: A French soldier lays wounded on a war beaten battlefield.

 

Title: "Solider Down".  

(Date and origin unknown).

Condition: Canvas has been relined. The painting has had restoration done as well.  Looks to have had damage down the middle of the painting.  There is in-painting in some areas of the work but the signature has not been touched and does not show signs of over-painting or in-painting under black-light.  The painting does need more restoration or just a cleaning for a clean presentation.  

Bought out of an estate without certificate of authenticity.  We are selling as is but we cannot guarantee this painting to be by the named artist but it is of our opinion that it is by the hand of Bouguereau, judging from the quality, age and subject matter.
