Description

- oil on panel

Provenance
Acquired by the family of the present owner by the 1970s; thence by descent
Condition
The panel is uncradled and is flat and apparently stable. Under ultra-violet light the varnish layers fluoresce relatively evenly and quite opaquely making the surface difficult to read under U.V., although there do not appear to be notable signs of retouching visible to the naked eye. This painting appears in good condition and is ready to hang.
Presented in a decorative gilt rococo style frame.
