Condition
To the naked eye :
The painting appears in average condition.
It has been a little too firmly relined during the first half of the 20th century.
Some areas present a thinner layer of paint, probably due to the relining
Thin craquelures visible across the surface
2 small scratches visibles in the background, upper right
Under UV light :
Small repaints scattered on the surface
Old tear, irregularly shaped, restored : from the bottom on the right column to approx. 4cm from the capital ; a horizontal restored tear appears in the same area, above the figure with the hat
An opaque green varnish probably conceals old retouches, such as filled in craquelures.
