STRUCTURE:
This picture appears to be unlined although the backing board makes it difficult to be sure. The paint surface is affected by blooming (as visible in the catalogue illustration). This would not be costly or difficult to remove by a professional restorer. There are no signs of craquelure. The colours are rich and the paint surface is stable throughout.
UNDER ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT:
There is an uneven varnish but no obvious retouchings.
FRAME:
Contained in a molded gilt frame.
