Condition

The painting is darker than the catalogue illustration suggests. The paint surface is secure and under a discoloured varnish. No major damages can be made out with the naked eye. Some areas of abrasion can be made out, notably centre right and centre left, predominantly in the darker areas. Some small losses upper right are present. The glossy varnish impedes satisfactory inspection under UV light, though some small localised retouchings do flouresce. Overall the work appears in fair condition for a canvas of a large size. Offered in a carved wood frame with some paint losses but structurally sound.
