Condition

The actual painting is a little warmer in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The canvas is relined (glue). The paint surface seems to be in good condition. The paint surface has a quite heavy craquelure pattern and is covered with a very dirty and discoloured varnish layer. Inspection under UV light is largely impeded by the varnish layer. Offered in a later decorative plaster gilt wood frame, a few tiny chips.
