Cette œuvre est vendue avec des baguettes en bois. L'œuvre est sur sa toile d'origine. La toile est très légèrement détendue. La surface est légèrement encrassée et poussiéreuse. Les angles présentent une très légère ondulation. Présence de petits points d'accrétion par endroits sur la surface. De légères traces de frottement sont visibles dans les quarts inférieur gauche et supérieur droit. Quelques petits points d'enfoncement par l'arrirère dûs au châssis sont visibles le long des bords supérieur et gauche dans la partie inférieure. Deux petites piqûres sont visibles le long du bord gauche, dans la partie supérieure. Présence de très légères traces de manipulation par endroits le long des bords dans les parties blanches. Examinée à la lumière UV: pas de repeint apparent. Sous réserve de ce qui précède, selon notre opinion, l’œuvre est en bon état général de conservation.
This work is sold with wooden sticks. The work is not lined. The canvas is slightly loose. The surface is slightly dirty and dusty. The corners undulate very slightly. There are pinpoint accretions in places to the surface. Minor rubbing is visible to the lower left and upper right quadrants. A few minor dents from behind due to the stretcher are visible along the upper and lower left edges. There are two small spots of foxing along the left edge, to the upper part. Very slight handling marks are visible in places along the edges in the white areas. Examined under UV light: no visible inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in overall good condition.
