Condition

The canvas is relined. The paint surface has somewhat flattened and is thin, but in stable condition.
Retouchings and strengthening are visible in the sky, in the donkey, in the main figures in the foreground as well as the objects lower right.
Inspection under UV-light confirms the aforesaid and reveals extensive retouchings in the sky, in the top of the architecture; additional spots in the seated woman and the area around her.
Offered in a gilt wood ornate frame, in good condition. (JD)
