Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV does reveal a small area of retouching towards the left part of the lower edge. There are some flecks of gilding adhering to the upper, right and lower edges due to previous framing. There is some craquelure visible, particularly to the thicker white pigments. This work is in overall good condition.
