Description

  • Adriaen Brouwer

Condition

The single panel is flat, stable and uncradled. It is bevelled along three edges. The paint surface is generally sound and under a thick dirty varnish with some very minor surface damages, a little frame abrasion and and a 1 cm by 1 cm loss to the upper right corner. The varnish prevents satisfactory examination under UV light, although there appear to be some scattered retouchings. Offered in a plain wooden frame with some minor knocks.
