THIS REPORT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE RESTORER

This painting remains stable and in a remarkable condition. The integrity of the artist’s technique appears intact.

Support:
The single piece panel remains even and structurally stable. It has one chamfered edge on the right side [verso]. The upper edge appears comparatively rough and could suggest that the artist cut a larger panel down in order to create this work.

Paint layer:
Close examination confirms the drawing, fluid texture of the painterly brushwork and every element of the composition to be well preserved. There is a loss of sharp clarity due to slight surface abrasion, aged varnish and strengthening across the foreground. Cleaning would prove rewarding in restoring a tonal balance and in revealing the gradations of colour and tone in the trees and foreground.

Varnish:
Ultra-violet fluorescence examination reveals a thick layer of aged varnish with minor strokes of retouching scattered across the surface. There is no recent retouching.

Frame:
The carved and gilded frame has a large loss to the central upper edge.
