Condition
The actual painting is slightly less red and deeper in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The thin single panel has a very fanit convex bow, but otherwise, is in good condition. The paint layer is secure and no damages are apparent. The paint surface is under a dirty varnish. Very few tiny retouchings can be observed in the background, but inspection under UV light is impeded by the dirty varnish.
Overall, in good condition.
Offered in a decorative carved wood frame with some old worm holes and some chips.
