Condition
The colours in the painting are less contrasted than the catalogue illustration suggests. The support appears to consist of one panel which is flat and stable and has a layer of old putty to stabilise it. The panel was perhaps cut down along the right edge in the past. It is offered in a carved wood frame with several chips. There is a gap of about 2 cms from the right edge of the painting to the frame. The paint surface is under a dirty varnish with some discoloured retouchings, but displays no major damages. Under UV light several retouchings and strengthenings flouresce, but these are not obtrusive.
