Description

  • The Penitent Magdalene
  • oil on canvas, unframed

Condition

The canvas has been recently relined. The paint surface is in good condition. The painting appears to have been recently cleaned and varnished and therefore inspection under ultraviolet light is severely impeded. However, strengthenings, particularly along the outlines of the Magdalene, are clearly visible. The painting is unframed.
