Attributed to Hendrik Willem Schweickardt

Panel is uncradled, flat and appears to be stable. Overall the picture presents a lovely image with nice retention of paint surface and coloration. U.V. reveals some minor small retouchings here and there, but these are, for the most part, limited to the sky. These retouches have been applied well, and no further work is necessary. The picture may be hung as is. In a carved and gilt wood frame with minor abrasion to gilding.
