Condition
The painting is relined. Underneath the yellowish varnish, the decorative image reads well. There are three areas of paint loss on the bottom right corner and a couple of even smaller chips at the top right corner. Inspection under UV light shows no apparent visible retouches. A delicate restoration on the paint loss could be suggested, but the painting is otherwise ready to hang. The work is offered in a gilded wood frame with some thin scratches throughout.
