Condition
The painting has an old relinign which is quite loose. The dirty paint surface is structurally sound under a discoloured varnish, with the impasto still quite vibrant. Some of the browner/yellow tones have become a little abraded. Inspection under UV light reveals older and more recent retouchings to the darker tones, in the background and lower right, but these are painterly rather than structural. Offered in a gilt wooden frame with minor losses..
