Condition
The actual painting is less red than the catalogue illustration suggests. The canvas appears to be unlined. There is a tiny hole of approximately 1 cm by 1 cm in the upper left corner and a smaller one to the lower right. Minor frame abrasion is visible along the edges. There is a patch restored diagonal tear in the centre, otherwise, no major damages are apparent. The paint layer appears well preserved. Some retouchings can be observed in the ground above the lower edge. Inspection under UV light reveals very few scattered retouchings in the background and a slightly larger in a tree upper centre. The game and objects appear in good condition. The paint surface is under a discoloured varnish layer.
Offered in a plain gilt wood frame with some paint losses along the edges.
