Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
This picture has been painted on an un-reinforced oak panel which is joined horizontally through the middle. The condition of the paint is extremely good. The surface is quite dirty and will respond well to cleaning to reveal a considerably brighter palette in lovely state.
There appear to be no damages or restorations anywhere on the picture, which is highly unusual for a picture of this period.
