Provençal School, 15th Century

The colours are a little cooler than they appear in the catalogue illustration. The support appears to consist of two horizontal panels. The paint surface is fairly dirty and largely secure apart from along the aforementioned panel join, along a horizontal split lower left and in the scattered areas of old restored losses all visible in the catalogue illustration. Inspection under UV light is impeded by the dirty surface but old scattered retouchings in the aforementioned areas do fluoresce. Offered in an engaged frame with some old losses as visible in the catalogue illustration
