Condition

A l’œil nu : Le tableau se présente dans un état de conservation satisfaisant. Il a fait l’objet d’un rentoilage réalisé très probablement dans la première partie du XXe siècle, très correctement. On remarque quelques usures au niveau du visage du page à gauche. Les bords supérieurs gauche et droit ont été coupés pour respecter la forme du cadre. Le tableau est sous un épais vernis ancien et encrassé. On remarque quelques légères griffures superficielles du vernis. Du fait de l’accrochage des œuvres durant l’exposition, le tableau n’a pas pu être vu à la lampe UV. To the naked eye: The painting appeas in satisfactory condition. It has been very correctly relined, very likely in the first half of the 20 the century. We notice some wears on the page’s face, on the left. The upper left and right edges have been cut to respect the frame’ shape. We notice some very light superficial scratches on the varnish. Due to the hanging of the painting on the wall during the exhibition the painting could not been seen under U.V. light.
