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.

The painting presents very well overall. The copper panel is flat and stable and in good condition. The paint surface is relatively clean beneath a slightly matt varnish.

Inspection under UV reveals very little restoration, with only minor retouching along the left edge, in the collar of the right hand figure, in the drapery beneath Christ’s hand and in the broom.

The painting could benefit from a very light clean and revarnish, according to taste, or could be hung as it appears presently. Offered in a decoratively carved gilt wood frame.
