Sale: Sotheby's, London, 30 May 2008, lot 139
Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

The board is flat and even. Ultraviolet light reveals quite extensive strokes of retouching in the sky, and a small area in the water between the amphoras. As just visible in the catalogue illustration, there are just a few pinhead-sized indentations and associated spots of paint-flaking. This painting is in good overall condition. Held in a decorative gilt frame. The catalogue illustration is a good representation of the original, although the colours are slightly less orange in reality.
