拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
The uncradled panel measures approximately ½ inch thick and exhibits beveling on all four sides. The paint is stable on the support and exhibits a fine vertical craquelure in Pomona’s bare skin. The varnish is yellowed and slightly cloudy. Light scuffing due to frame abrasion is visible along all four edges. In natural light there is a pinhead size loss in Vertumnus’ cloak at lower left. Ultraviolet light does not easily penetrate the varnish layer, but a handful of isolated pinhead size touches of strengthening fluoresce in Pomona’s neck and chest. A further touch of strengthening measuring approximately ½ x 1/8 inch extending from Pomona’s dress into the foreground rock ledge is visible in natural light but does not fluoresce under ultraviolet light. The painting can be displayed in its current state but would likely benefit if the varnish were refreshed.
