Condition

A l’oeil nu : Le tableau apparaît dans un état de conservation satisfaisant. Il a fait l’objet d’un rentoilage réalisé très certainement dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, un peu fort. Le tableau est sous un vernis extrêmement sale et uniforme qui a besoin d’être nettoyé. On remarque une légère usure dans le drapé vert à droite du personnage près de la veste blanche. A la lampe U. V. : Le tableau apparaît sous un vernis vert uniforme et épais. On ne remarque pas de restauration. To the naked eye: The painting appears in satisfactory condition. It has been relined, very probably on the first half of the 20th century, a little bit too strong. The painting is under an extremely dirty and uniform varnish that needs to be cleaned. We notice a light wear on the green drapery on the left of the white jacket. Under U.V. light: The painting appears under a green uniform thick varnish. We cannot notice any restoration.
