Structural Condition
The canvas would appear to have been lined and this is ensuring a sound and secure support.
No further structural intervention is required.
Paint Surface
The paint surface has discoloured varnish layers and should respond very well to cleaning and
revarnishing. I would be confident of a significant improvement in the overall appearance.
Inspection under ultraviolet light shows the varnish layers to fluoresce quite unevenly as a
result of the opaque, discoloured varnish layers, and I could find no evidence of any
retouching. There may be retouchings that I could not identify under ultraviolet light.
Summary
The painting would therefore appear to be in very good and stable condition and should
benefit considerably from cleaning and revarnishing if required.
