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.

A l'oeil nu, on constate des petits manques et une déchirure en bas, au centre. On constate des vieilles restaurations ayant viré dans les bruns. On constate des traces de chancis. Le tableau est sale et bénéficierait d'un nettoyage.
A l'UV, on constate des traces d'anciennes restaurations dans les fonds. Le tableau est sous un vernis épais, encrassé, ne permettant pas de distinguer d'éventuelles campagnes de restauration antérieures.

The canvas is unlined and is on its original stretcher. It is held under tension and remains stable.
In natural light the painting presents well, with the details of the composition well preserved. There are some minor losses and a small tear to the lower edge in the centre. There is some scattered retouching in the browns that have discoloured with time. There is some slight blooming in areas. The varnish also carries some dirt and would benefit from a light clean.
Examination under UV light reveals some scattered historic retouching in the background. The thickness of the varnish precludes a more in depth examination. The paint remains stable.
In a carved giltwood and gilt stucco frame (approx. 96 x 111 cm.).
