Le tableau a fait l'objet d'un rentoilage correctement réalisé. Le tableau est sur un châssis rapporté à clés. A l'oeil nu, le tableau préserve une belle matière, avec de jolis empâtements et glacis dans les bruns, dans le paysage, dans les bronzes et dans les éléments de nature morte en bronze. Le bleu du drapé semble avoir viré dans la partie inférieure droite, sous la sculpture. D'anciens repeints ayant viré sont visibles dans le bras droit de la bacchante et dans les arbres à droite. A l'UV, on constate les anciens repeints précédemment mentionnés dans le bras et dans les arbres. Des restaurations sont visibles le long des bords. Le tableau est sous un vernis vert épais uniforme, masquant d'éventuelles traces de restauration. Dans un cadre en bois doré (approx. 103 x 124 x 6 cm).
ENGLISH The painting has been correctly relined. The painting is on a modern keyed stretcher. In natural light the painting presents well, with the surface texture well preserved, there is nice impasto and glazes in the browns, in the landscape and in the bronze still life elements are still fully appreciable. The blue of the drapery seems to have discoloured in the lower right-hand section, under the sculpture. Old retouching that has discoloured over time is visible in the bacchante's right arm and in the trees to the right. Examination under UV light confirms the aforementioned retouching. Restoration is visible along the canvas edges. The painting is under a uniform thick green varnish, which precludes a more in-depth examination. In a giltwood frame (approx. 103 x 124 x 6 cm).
