Footnote: Provenance: Christie's, London, From Milan to Rome - The Collections of Two Italian Designers, 16 November 2011, lot 252

Condition report: Oil on linen canvas which is unlined. There is a patch on the reverse repairing an old damage to the painting. The canvas has spotting across the surface caused by damp and mould. The paint layer is thinly applied and there are areas of wear and abrasion. Retouchings are fairly well matched to the original. The varnish is clear, even and glossy. The gilding on the frame is suffering from flaking and loss.
