Florentine School 17th century

A l'oeil nu, le tableau apparaît dans un état de conservation satisfaisant. Il est toujours sur sa toile d'origine. On remarque à l'arrière de la toile plusieurs pièces de toiles restaurant d'anciens accidents ponctuels. Le plus important étant le ciel dans le coin supérieur gauche.Le tableau est sous un vernis très encrassé. On remarque quelques petits soulèvements au niveau du ciel. On remarque deux restaurations, l'une dans le ciel, déjà signalée, la seconde dans le pied de la reine faisant offrande. A la lampe UV : vernis vert épais uniforme très ancien qui ne permet pas de voir d'anciennes restaurations To the naked eye, the painting is in good overall condition. It is on its original canvas. We can see on the back of the canvas few pieces to fix some minor accidents. The biggest being in the sky in the upper left corner. The painting is under a very dirty varnish. We can see some small lift of paint in the sky and (already mentioned) and in the foot of the queen of Sheba. Under the UV light : Thick and even green varnish all over which make impossible to see if there was some restoration.
