Condition
This painting on canvas has been lined onto a new piece of linen. The lining has not affected the impasto and the paint layer seems to be secure as a result of the lining. The painting itself reads strongly under ultraviolet light and although there are restorations, they cannot be firmly identified. The work was never cleaned and it is not varnished. The texture and freshness of the paint are evident. The purpose of the lining was probably to stabilize a less than secure paint layer and it is likely that there are retouches that have been added in some of the heavier impasto, such as perhaps in the horizontal railing to the left of the figure, around the edges, in the corners, and in some of the architectural details at lower right. There is a fresh quality to the paint layer which is notable. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
