The Lamentation

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.

This painting is executed on a panel comprised of a single board of a vertical grain. The panel has bowed slightly with age but is stable. The reverse of the panel is covered in a dark paint layer. The painted surface is stable with a fine craquelure. In natural light repairs along the extreme edges and areas in the foreground are visible. Scattered repairs along the craquelure fluoresce under ultra violet light. A small loss in one of the three Mary’s red garments has been restored. Further inspection under ultra violet light reveals scattered pinpoint restorations through. The painting presents well and is offered in a small wood carved frame.
