Le tableau se présente dans un bon état général de conservation. Il est peint sur un panneau de zinc, non parqueté, le panneau est parfaitement stable. La surface picturale est bien préservée et possède de jolis effets de matière à l'oeil nu. On constate néanmoins quelques griffures sur la surface peinte. A l'UV : on constate des petites retouches très ponctuelles sur le corps et le visage de l'Enfant, sur la main gauche de la Vierge, sur son front, ainsi que dans l'oeil droit de Joseph. On devine des restaurations dans les fonds. Le tableau est sous un vernis vert uniforme, un peu épais. Dans un cadre en bois doré, mouluré, de style 18e. ENGLISH The painting is in a good overall condition. It is painted on a plate of zinc, uncradled. The panel is perfectly stable. The paint surface is well preserved with nice impasto to the naked eye. We can see few thin scratched on the paint surface. Examination under UV lighting reveals tiny retouches on the body and face of the Christ, on the Virgin's left hand, on her front and on Joseph's right eye. We guess older restorations in the background. The painting is under an even coat of green varnish, a bit thick. In a gilt carved frame in the manner of the 18th century.
