Condition
The canvas has been lined. This works presents well and is overall in good condition.
There is a pattern of fine craquelure in the upper half of the composition. Ultra-violet light reveals some scattered spots of retouching addressing previous paint flaking in the extreme right, lower and left edge. Other spots of retouching are visible in the white pigments in the sky and there are some other minor scattered strokes of fluorescence, notably in the wooden structure of the ceiling, which could be associated to some previous strengthening.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
Colours are less red than in the catalogue illustration.
