Condition
A l'oeil nu, le tableau apparaît dans un très bel état de conservation. il est sur sa toile d'origine, son châssis et son cadre d'origine. Le tableau est sous un vernis encrassé qui a besoin d'être allégé. On remarque un réseau de craquelures, un peu prononcé et également on remarque la marque de la pression du châssis sur la toile d'origine. On ne remarque pas de restaurations à l'oeil nu.
A la lampe UV : vernis vert uniforme. Pas de restauration visible.
To the naked eye, the painting is in a very fine overal condition. It is on its original canvas, chassis and in its original frame. We can see a network of cracks a bit deep and the trace of the chassis on the original canvas. No restoration to be seen to the naked eye.
Under the UV light : green even varnish. No restoration.
