Description
- Frans Pourbus the Elder
- An amorous couple making music, together with another young couple and an elderly man
- oil on panel, a fragment
Condition
The catalogue illustration is representative for the actual painting.
The panel seems to consist of 2 or 3 planks, as it s unclear wether one join is a repaired horizontal split or not. The paint layer is secure and under a somewhat dirty layer of varnish. Some scattered retouchings can be made out with the naked eye, in particular in the background. Inspection under UV light reveals further more extensive scattered retouchings and the aforementioned repaired cracks.
Offered in a cassetta wood frame with gilt fillets and scroll leaf decorations in fair condition.
