Description
- Niccolò Codazzi
- A capriccio of classical ruins with peasants resting
- oil on canvas
Condition
The actual painting is warmer in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The canvas has a firm relining. There's a thin vertical scratch in the lower right corner. Otherwise, no damages are apparent. The paint surface is under a yellowed varnish. Small retouchings can be observed in the figures in the foreground, in the well on the left, in the lower foreground and in the central columns. Under UV light the paint surface looks more substantially restored.
Offered in a plain gold painted wood frame with a few chips. (MW)
