AFTER DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELÁZQUEZ
TRIUMPH OF BACCHUS

oil on canvas, laid down on panel
61¼ by 87 in.; 155.6 by 221 cm.

Condition Report:
The canvas is laid on a panel or board probably consisting of multiple planks, given its size, and supported on the reverse by another coarse-weave canvas. To the naked eye, several spots in the shadows of the figures' clothing and flesh tones appear darker, suggesting areas of restoration. A small amount of frame abrasion is visible along the left edge. Under UV inspection, retouching is visible in patches throughout areas of shadow, most of which are also visible to the naked eye. Offered in a decoratively painted black, red, and giltwood frame.
