Condition
The actual painting is less green and warmer in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The support consist of two horizontal panels which are secured to the reverse with a batten. The stable and signed paint surface appears to the naked eye to be clean and in good condition, with details even in the background, nicely preserved. The paint surface along the join has slightly opened, but has no paint loss. Some minor abrasion can be made out in the figures at centre and lower left. Inspection under UV light reveals just some minor retouchings here and there and along the panel join. Offered in a carved wood frame in good condition.
