The Penitent Magdalene

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 painting presents very well and the image reads clearly. The canvas has a modern relining and is firmly stretched. The paint surface is stable and clean beneath a fresh varnish; it appears to have slightly pressed in the relining process and there is some aligatoring in the darks of the background, though these areas are secure and not distracting to the eye.
Inspection under UV is impeded by the varnish but reveals areas of strengtheningand retouching scattered throughout the sky, ground and vegetation in the background. There is finely applied retouching to pin prick losses and fine cracks in the figure's arms, forehead, eyes and nose,, further retouching feathered through her cheek and in the nose of the left-most seraph.
The painting requires no further intervention and is ready to hang. Offered in a decoratively carved giltwood frame.
