Charles François Grenier de Lacroix, dit Lacroix de Marseille

A l'oeil nu : Le tableau apparaît dans un état de conservation très satisfaisant. Il a fait l'objet d'un rentoilage correctement réalisé, très probablement dans la première moitié du XXème siècle. Le tableau a fait l'objet d'un nettoyage relativement récent correctement réalisé. A la lampe U.V. : On remarque quelques légères reprises ponctuelles dans le ciel dans le coin supérieur gauche. To the naked eye : The painting appears in a very satisfactory condition. It has been relined ; the relining, correctly realized, must have been done during the first half of the 20th century. The painting has been cleaned quite recently ; this has been correctly realized. Under the U.V. light : We can notice a few slight and punctual retouches in the sky, on the upper left corner.
