Provenance
Anonymous sale, London, Christie's, 20 October 1972, lot 147 (as by Abraham Teniers).
Condition
The painting is representative for the actual painting.
The painting has a relining. The paint surface has flattened and is abraded in the foliage, the architecture and some of the figures, but is in stable condition. Some retouchings are visible in the sky. The paint surface is under a dirty and discoloured varnish layer.
Inspection under UV-light confirms the abovementioned retouchings and reveals additional small and scattered ones in the foliage to the right and the village's architecture; scattered small retouchings and strengthening in the figures as well as of the bow and arrow.
Offered in a decorative, gilt plaster frame, in good condition. (JD)
