STRUCTURE This picture is lined and there are scattered areas of craquelure, particularly noticeable in the foreground.

UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT There are small isolated retouchings and an 'L shaped' area of retouching to the head of the left lion, probably to a repaired tear. The area of retouching noted above is also visible under ultraviolet light. FRAME This picture is contained in a gilt moulded frame.
