Provenance
Anonymous sale, Brussels, Giroux, 5 March 1928, lot 44;
Sale, London, Sotheby's, 3 July 1997, lot 194.
Condition
The catalogue illustration is representative for the actual painting, although the actual painting is somewhat softer in tone. The canvas is relined. No damages seem to be apparent. The painting seems to be recently cleaned. A few small retouchings can be observed to the lower left, as well as some minor strengthening in the figures in the foreground. The paint surface is covered with a clear layer of varnish. Inspection under ultra violet light confirms the retouchings as mentioned above, and reveals additional tiny scattered retouchings in the sky and in the foliage to the upper left, and some strengthening in the figures in the background and in the figures at the shrine. Offered in a plain wood frame with gilt fillets in good condition. (MW)
