Description

  • Jusepe de Ribera, called Lo Spagnoletto
  • Ecce homo
  • oil on canvas, unframed

Condition

The canvas has an old relining but is on a new stretcher and appears to have been fairly recently cleaned and restored, and small damages have been patched to the reverse. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered retouchings and some minor restorations. The fine cracquelure is secured by the varnish. The painting could be hung in its present condition but is offered unframed.
