Description
- The Holy Family with Saints John the Baptist and Catherine
- oil on panel
Condition
The panel support is cradled to the reverse and the paint surface is secured by a dirty varnish. Discoloured retouchings can be made out with the naked eye. Cracks along the panel joins can be made out in the paint surface and infilled paint losses are present. These are confirmed when inspected under UV light, as well as further strengthenings. Overall the painting would benefit from some restorative attention.
