Description
- An interior scene with a musician with a violin, and two peasants playing dice, other figures in the background
- oil on panel
Condition
The actual painting is deeper in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The single panel is flat and stable and bevelled on all sides. The paint surface is in very good condition, but under a dirty and discoloured varnish layer. Inspection under UV light is largely impeded by the varnish layer. However, a few small retouchings are visible in the lower centre, as well as some tiny ones in the figures.
Offered in a decorative plaster and gilt wood frame, with a few losses. (ML/MW)
