More Information

The picture shows evidence of historic re-lining, re-stretching and re-framing. The paint surface shows crazing, small areas of paint loss and surface marks including a full length drip mark running to the right of the face. UV examination reveals evidence of restoration to the bottom right corner and further small retouches. The frame shows various small chips and nibbles to the gilt and the gesso.
