拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
The panel is composed single beveled board with a vertical grain and is stable. There is a vertical hairline crack issuing from the lower edge near center and extending approximately 7 inches. There is evidence of wood worm to the reverse of the panel, now inactive. The paint layer is stable, under a varnish that has discolored slightly with age. There are minor losses to the extreme edges. There is scattered pigment flaking, particularly to the upper center portion of the composition. Under natural light, scattered areas of retouching are visible. Inspection under ultraviolet confirms the aforementioned restorations. The painting would benefit from a consolidation treatment to adrees the flaking pigment, but can be displayed in its current state. The work is offered without a frame.
