Provenance
Sale, Orleans, Galerie des Ventes, 23 November 2000, lot 134, where acquired.
Condition
The picture is richer in colour and fresher in tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest. On a single bevelled panel with a very slight bow in it. The paint surface is in good overall condition and a nice impasto still remains. There is no apparent damage or loss of paint. Examination under ultraviolet reveals a discoloured varnish which makes inspection difficult however there seems to be little intervention apart from a few very minor flecks of retouching such as to a vertical line measuring approx. 1 in. at the panel edge. The picture is in good overall condition. Offered in a gilt wood and plaster frame in good overall condition.
