Huile sur toile. L’œuvre n’est pas rentoilée. L’œuvre est vernie. Mineure abrasion due aux frottements du cadre associée à des zones d’usure et de très fines craquelures par endroits le long de l’extrémité des bords. Un trou de punaise fait par l’artiste dans le coin inférieur droit. Légère salissure de surface associée à un ou deux points de saleté par endroits. Quelques très rares fines et stables craquelures discrètes dans les pigments verts-blancs les plus clairs. Un petit enfoncement provenant du revers vers le quart supérieur droit. Le médium et les empâtements sont vifs et frais. Examiné à la lampe à ultra-violets : aucune retouche apparente. Sous réserve de ce qui précède et selon notre opinion, cette œuvre apparaît en très bonne condition générale.
Oil on canvas. Not lined. Varnished. Some minor frame abrasions with associated areas of rubbing and very fine craquelures in places along the extreme edges. One artist’s tack hole at the lower right corner. Some pale surface dirt with one or two associated spots of accretion in places. A very few fine and stable hairline craquelures in the lighter greenish white pigments. One small dent from the reverse towards the upper right quadrant. Medium and impastos are strong and fresh. Examined under ultraviolet light: no apparent retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that this work appears to be in generally very good condition.
