Description
- Martinus Josephus Geeraerts
- Five putti representing an allegory of the arts
- oil on canvas, en grisaille, unframed
Condition
The actual painting is darker in tone, and the contrasts are more even than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The canvas is unlined. The paint surface is in very good condition, the texture of the brushstrokes is well preserved and there are no damages visible.
Inspection under UV-light reveals scattered spots of retouching, for example in the upper left, tiny spots in the bodies of the putti to the right and in the lower left and right corners. Strengthening of the contour lines becomes apparent in the two foremost putti.
Offered unframed. (JD)
