拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異,而由於其性質使然,拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。
The panel consists of three sheets of wood, joined vertically. The joins have been reinforced in the past with strips of canvas. The panel is straight. The panel is bevelled on the lower, left and right edge. In the past it was likely cut at the top.
The old, discoloured varnish is very dry and opaque, obscuring the composition. Surface dirt on top of it.
In natural light no obvious damages or retouchings can be seen. There are two tiny dents with paint loss in the lower left area. The pigments of the darker part of the background and the table cloth have discoloured with age and become transparent. Locally the vertical woodgrain is retouched in the white table linen.
Some local frame scuffing in the varnish can be detected.
Inspection under UV light reveals some minor retouching to the outer left edge and some minor old retouching in the background, left of the Roemer along the upper edge, as well as retouching to left join visible in the bread roll and table linen. Otherwise the varnish turns green making further reading very difficult.
The picture would benefit from cleaning.
The frame measures 90 x 83 cm.
