Condition

A l’œil nu : Le tableau se présente dans un état de conservation moyennement satisfaisant. Il est peint sur un panneau de cuivre parfaitement droit. Le tableau a fait l’objet d’un nettoyage réalisé dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, un peu fort. On remarque des usures dans les carnations, les chevelures et les drapés. A la lampe UV : Le tableau apparaît sous un vernis vert uniforme. On ne remarque pas de restauration. To the naked eye : The painting is in quite satisfactory condition. It is painted on a copper panel, perfectly flat. The painting has been cleaned during the second half of the 20th century, a little too strong. We notice some wears in the flesh, the hair and the drapery. Under UV light : The painting appears under a green uniform varnish. We cannot notice any restoration.
