Condition
The stable support consists of two vertical panels, cradled to the reverse.
There are a number of old cracks to the paint surface as visible in the catalogue illustration.
The paint surface is secure and some of the details of the flowers have been well preserved, but the darker areas of the background are fairly abraded, under an old yellowed varnish.
Thorough inspection under UV light is impeded by the aforementioned varnish.
Offered in a wood and gilt frame with a carved pattern. Structure sound if a little rubbed.
