Follower of Guido Reni

The canvas is not lined. The surface is in generally good condition aside from craquelure, several small losses bottom edge to the right of the table, a horizontal possible repaired tear 5 inches at the bottom center and a slightly dirty varnish. Inspection under UV reveals retouches to the aforementioned possible repaired tear and losses to the bottom of the painting, and several scattered small retouches on the figure's chest.
