Condition

The panel is flat, even and ensuring a stable support. Under ultra-violet light the old residual varnish layers fluoresce green however there do not appear to be any notable signs of retouching. There are some small spots of gold paint on the surface towards the upper-left and upper-right corners and a couple of very light, thin surface scuffs to the left of the upper-centre of the sky. This painting is in good condition and otherwise ready to hang. Presented in a rococo-style frame, with a gilt inner slip.
