Condition
This painting has an old relining. Generally the painting is in very healthy condition. No major losses or damages are visible either to the naked eye or under UV light. One small loss is visible top left, this is possibly due to frame abrasion or an isolated loss. The varnish does appears milky under UV light and certainly could be replaced, and thus the picture would appear brighter and ready to hang. In a carved giltwood frame.
