Description

  • Hieronymus Galle the Elder
  • a Still Life with roses, tulips and other flowers in a bas relief vase on a stone ledge
  • oil on canvas, in a carved and gilt wood frame

Condition

The canvas has a firm relining. The paint surface is secure, though dirty and somewhat flat. There is some frame abrasion to the left hand and upper margins and a knock to the the upper right hand corner but no major damages to the work are apparent. A handful of scattered spot retouchings to the work fluoresce when the painting is reviewed under UV light but proper inspection is impeded by a reflective varnish. Offered in a carved and gilt wood frame in good condition with a few knocks and minor losses.
