Condition Report: work in good condition, with signs of age consistent with its period
*** Photographic note
Some photographs of the work were taken with the aid of professional studio lighting and spotlights to make the composition, details and painterly texture easier to discern. This lighting may cause slight variations in the perception of color and brightness compared with viewing the work in person. The photographs are for illustrative and documentary purposes only.
The frame is provided free of charge as a gift with the work and should therefore be considered an accessory, not included in the painting's monetary valuation. Given the inherent fragility of antique and gilded frames, any damage, detachment, breakage or loss of parts of the frame occurring during transport or shipping cannot be grounds for a refund, compensation or dispute regarding the value of the work. In any case, the packaging will be prepared with the utmost care to ensure, as far as possible, safe transport.
