Français
Le tableau est exécuté à la plume, l'encre brune et l'huile sur un papier calque contrecollé sur une toile.
Le papier est plié et froissé par endroits sur l'ensemble de la composition mais la couche picturale reste intacte.
L'examination à l'UV révèle différentes zones de comblement et de retouches sur l'ensemble de la composition. L'épaisseur du vernis ne permet néanmoins pas de discerner convenablement les anciennes campagnes de restauration.
L'oeuvre présente bien, dans un un cadre en bois et stuc dorés de style (approx. 34 x 39 x 5 cm.) – la toile est encadrée par un cadre interne dans la structure globale (approx. 21 x 26 x 2 cm.).
English
Pen and brown ink and oil on tracing paper laid down on canvas.
The paper shows several folds and creases but overall the paint layer is intact.
Examination under UV light shows several spots of inpainting and retouching throughout, but this is difficult to read due to an opaque varnish layer.
Overall the work presents well in a gilt period style frame (approx. 34 x 39 x 5 cm.) – with an inner frame around the canvas (approx. 21 x 26 x 2 cm.).
