Condition
The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This painting has been restored fairly recently yet could look more presentable if required. It has been lined using wax as an adhesive and while the paint layer is stable, the cracking is quite raised throughout.
It is this cracking which is the most noticeable element and the cause for some retouching. In the shoulder of the putti and in various places here and there within the figures and in the background, the retouching is minimal and quite well applied. It is the lining where the issue can be resolved, even though some retouches will most likely be required.
