Provenance
Purchased in the early 1980s by the father of the present owner
Exhibited
Possibly, Genoa, Società Promotrice, 1883, no. 196 (as Pescivendolo)
Condition
The canvas has not been lined. There is a faint pattern of craquelure. Ultraviolet light reveals a relatively opaquely fluorescing varnish in parts, whose unevenness viewed under U.V. light would certainly appear to be attributable to the varnish rather than corresponding to retouching. This work is in good original condition and would benefit from a surface clean.
Presented in a simple gilt frame.
