Description

  • Vincent de Vos
  • A singerie scene with a simeon alchemist

Condition

The single panel is flat, stable and uncradled. The paint surface is largely secure with two small areas of paint loss, one upper right, the other lower left in the open book. Several of the details have been strengthened. Thorough inspection under UV light is impeded by the varnish. However, various areas of retouching to the background and book do flouresce. Offered in a modern painted wooden frame.
