Description
- Susannah and the elders
- oil on canvas
Condition
The canvas appears to have an old relining. There are two holes patched on the reverse. The paint surface is secure and under a somewhat discoloured varnish. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered retouchings and restoration, notably an r-shaped tear upper left of 15 by 30 cms., although the varnish impedes thorough examination. Offered in a painted wooden frame in fair condition.
