Condition

The catalogue illustration is representative. The good relining is fairly recent and has not flattened the paint surface which shows thick impasto and good brushwork. The good condition is confirmed by inspection under UV light; very minor retouchings flouresce in the putto's face. Offered in a later carved wooden frame.
