Condition
STRUCTURE
The board is sound.
There are a few small surface abrasions near the centre of the upper edge. The surface is slightly dirty and may benefit from a light clean. Otherwise the work appears in good overall condition.
ULTARVIOLET LIGHT
UV reveals an uneven varnish which makes the reading difficult to interpret. There are a few specks of fluorescence along the centre of the upper edge and in the upper left corner, which may be old retouching. There are also spots of fluorescence beneath the bridge, which appears to correspond to the uneven varnish.
FRAME
Held in a gilt plaster frame with a canvas inset.
