Condition Report

The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: This work on a large wooden panel is in very good condition. The wood is flat, and the paint layer is stable and clean. The elaborate frame is probably original. Although the work reads slightly unevenly under ultraviolet light, there do not appear to be any actual retouches, except possibly on the extreme edges and in the corners. The work is clearly in beautiful state.
"This lot is offered for sale subject to Sotheby's Conditions of Business, which are available on request and printed in Sotheby's sale catalogues. The independent reports contained in this document are provided for prospective bidders' information only and without warranty by Sotheby's or the Seller."
