- olio su tela
Provenance
Christie's Roma, 24 Novembre 1992, lotto 129.
Condition
The painting is less saturated than the photograph suggests and is more luminous. The relined canvas is offered in a gilt frame which is structurally sound but with some surface losses. To the naked eye the paint surface appears secure with no tears or damages. When examined under ultraviolet light minor strenghtenings flouresce, as well as some retouching in the face of the central figure in the background. Overall the painting retains its surface dynamism and is offered in good condition.
