Follower of Simone Pignoni
Follower of Simone Pignoni Hebe, cupbearer of the gods, holding a drinking ewer and flowers oil on canvas 84.5 x 69cm
Provenance: Private Collection, London
The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. The canvas tension is stiff and there are minor undulations around the edges of the picture. The paint layers are stable but have suffered from wear and damage in the past. Old varnish residues appear green in the dark background. There is extensive overpaint across the surface, applied in a brushy manner and slightly darkened overtime. In the flesh paint, retouchings have become lighter. The varnish is clear and even.
