Français
Le tableau est peint sur une toile qui a été contrecollée sur une autre toile. Le support est stable.
A l'oeil nu, on constate dans le centre trois anciennes déchirures restaurées et un réseau de craquelures très marqué, surtout dans les fonds verts et bruns. Ces craquelures sont dans certains cas associés à des manques et soulèvements ayant été stabilisés. On constate une ancienne campagne de stabilisation associée aux craquelures ayant viré sur l'ensemble de la composition. Les glacis ont perdu de leur effet sur les couches de matière supérieures, notamment dans les parties blanches, claires, qui laissent entrevoir la couche sous-jacente. L'ensemble de la composition est assez encrassé.
L'examen à la lampe UV confirme les observations susmentionnées.
La matière du tableau est stable.
Sans cadre.
English
In natural light three repaired tears in the centre can be seen. There is a network of craquelure which can be seen, notably in the greens and browns of the background. In some cases, these cracks are associated with losses and lifting that has been stabilised. There is evidence of an earlier stabilisation campaign associated with scattered craquelure that has discoloured. There has been some loss to the upper paint glazes, particularly in the paler areas, allowing underlying paint layers to be seen. The composition as a whole would benefit from a light clean.
Examination under UV light confirms the above observations.
The paint surface remains stable.
Unframed.
