Notes on Material


Comments on Condition
This work on panel is attached with screws to a strainer at the verso. The puncture noted refers to one screw which has partially punctured through the panel near the right edge of the work, causing a dimple in the panel and a small associated crack and paint loss. The varnish layer is uneven in places and slightly discoloured in areas.
