Jan II van Coninxloo

The painting is in overall good condition. It is painted on a stable cradle panel, we can't see any disjunction in between the planks. The painting has been recently cleaned and revarnished properly. We can notice the typical under-drawing all over the work. Under UV light: The painting is under a green varnish partially removed in the lighter part of the work. We can notice some small retouching long the planks junction and in the face of the character wairing yellow in the center of the composition.
