PHILIPS WOUWERMAN | Cavalry on the move, a fortification under siege beyond

The single oak panel is uncradled, flat and stable. The paint surface is relatively clean and the varnish slightly discoloured but even. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals small retouchings scattered in the sky, most densely in the upper half of the left margin, and in the darker tones along the horizon line in the centre. The foreground appears to remain largely untouched and the painting is in overall good condition.
