Condition
Oil on board, which is flat and even. There is a pattern of hairline craquelure throughout the composition (primarily corresponding to the grain of the wood support), minor rubbing along the edges - mainly covered by the frame - and some lines of paint flaking in the lower left. Ultra-violet light reveals signs of cosmetic retouching, notably in the upper part of the cabinet, in the table cloth and along the framing edges. The picture is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
