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.
Français
Le tableau se présente dans un état de conservation moyennement satisfaisant.
Il a fait l'objet d'un rentoilage réalisé dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Un peu sec, il a légèrement tassé la matière picturale.
A l'oeil nu, on constate des repeints sur le personnage central en bas ainsi que des repeints ayant viré sur différents enfants. On constate également un manque (ancien repeint) au niveau de l'enfant de gauche. On constate des salissures ainsi que des repeints dans la partie gauche de la composition, au niveau d'anciennes craquelures.
A l'UV, on constate les restaurations précédemment citées. Le tableau se présente sous un vernis vert épais uniforme.
Encadré dans une baguette en bois doré (approx. 56 x 108,5 cm.).
English
The painting is in a state of conservation consistent with its age.
It has been relined during the second half of the 20th century. The relining has been executed a bit too firmly, which has caused the painted surface to flatten slightly.
Restorations to the lower central figure, as well as restorations to the other children are visible to the naked eye. Also visible is a chip (a previous repainting) on the child on the left. There are also soiled areas and restorations in the left side of the composition around old cracks.
Under UV light, the aforementioned restorations are visible. The painting appears under a uniform, thick green varnish.
Framed in a thin gold wood frame (approx. 56 x 108,5 cm.).
