Condition
The painting sits on its original canvas. The matter is very thin and dry. Small vertical cracks are visible on the right hand-side part of the composition especially, and minor chips are missing, scattered on the surface (visible in the catalogie).
Under UV light, a scratch appears on Louis-Philippe's lips; on the left, a repaint spot appears. A certain number of chips seem to have been filled. Good overall conditon.
