Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The original canvas has been relatively recently re-lined and as such maintains a good tension and remains structurally stable. Close examination of this painting, through uneven layers of thick, glossy varnish, confirms the sensitivity of the drawing and gradation of colour. Ultra-violet fluorescence examination confirms the density of the aged varnish and reveals at least two levels of retouching across the surface [eg. restoration to damages to the left of the central figure, and near the edges]. It reveals infilling to some of the craquelure [center of composition].
