Condition
The catalogue illustration is representative, though a little lighter in tone. The painting appears to be in good condition, with no apparent damage or loss of paint. It has a firm lining, and the apint is slightly flat as a result, however the canvas weave cannot be seen . Examination under ultraviolet light reveals minor infilling to craquelure and retouching overall, predominantly in the background. The painting is held in a neo-classical style frame, in good overall condition.
