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 beautiful painting is on a cradled panel. The paint layer is stable and most likely slightly dirty as it may never have been cleaned. In all likelihood, if the painting were to be lightly cleaned and varnished, no retouches would be required. In its elaborate frame it could be hung as is.
