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 panel consists of a single sheet of wood, bevelled on all four sides. An old inventory number is ‘30’ is on the reverse as well as various red wax seals.
The varnish is very glossy, thick and has yellowed. There is surface dirt on top of it.
In natural light no damages or retouchings can be seen. The paint layer with all its original pigments and impasto appears beautifully preserved, as well as all the details and different textures.
Inspection under UV light reveals only a small spot of retouching in the lower right corner and a few pinpoint retouchings to the outer edges, as well as a few pinpoint ones along the cord of the curtain. Otherwise the varnish turns green.
The picture would certainly benefit from cleaning.
In a modern frame, 39 x 30 cm.
