oil on canvas
canvas: 66 3/4 by 47 1/2 in.; 169.3 by 120.6 cm.
framed: 69 1/2 by 50 in.; 176.5 by 127 cm.
This painting is in overall good state, with good detail throughout. Relined with a glue relining. The paint layer throughout this large composition appears very healthy. Under UV: very few touches especially for a painting of this size. Some touches in the sky in the window upper left. Some restorations perhaps at the edge, but in the actual elements of the still life there are just a very few minor, carefully applied touches. Recommendable and quite grand. Offered in a modern ebonized wooden frame.
