Condition
The support consists of four single panels which are flat, stable and uncradled. The paint surface is generally in reasonable, stable condition with some old retouchings visible to the naked eye. Further inspection under ultraviolet light reveals some further retouching although the patchy varnish impedes thorough inspection. The paintings are offered in later wooden frames in fair condition.
