Ecole Vénitienne, vers 1600

Collection Costa de Beauragard (selon une inscription sur la feuille de montage)

Laid down on an old mount. There is, what appears to be, an old repaired tear to the lower right quarter and some evidence of minor surface dirt and staining throughout. There is what appears to be an old repaired tear or abrasion to the face of the woman in the centre and some slight buckling tho the sheet in the upper left corner. The medium itself remains predominantly strong throughout this highly energetic sheet. Sold in a giltwood frame. Monté sur un montage ancien. Il semble y avoir une déchirure réparée dans le coin en bas à droite et quelques traces de salissures et taches mineures disséminées sur l'ensemble de la feuille. Il semble qu'il y ait également une vieille réparation de déchirure ou d'abrasion sur le visage de la femme au centre. La feuille a un peu gondolé dans la partie haute à gauche. Le médium reste majoritairement fort dans l'ensemble de cette feuille puissante. Vendu dans un cadre en bois doré.
