Condition

The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. This impressive picture has been lined. The cracking is slightly raised and the lining seems to be releasing the original paint layer in the upper left slightly. The paint layer however seems to be in very good state. It is most likely clean. Some attention could be paid to the lining to make sure that it is secure and functional. However, the remainder of the picture shows no restoration under ultraviolet light. The condition is excellent, requiring perhaps a brighter varnish and some attention to the lining.
