MANNER OF FRAGONARD | AN EROTIC SCENE
MANNER OF FRAGONARD
AN EROTIC SCENE
oil on pine panel, unframed
50.2 x 39.9 cm.; 19¾ x 15¾ in.
Condition Report:
The panel is formed of a single plank, and is uncradled, flat and stable. The paint surface is slightly dirty and the varnish discoloured. There is evidence of past frame abrasion along all four margins, and a diagonal surface scuff approx. 10 cm. long, lower right. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a thick and uneven varnish, underneath which it is possible to discern a handful of retouchings, notably a spot in the man’s cheek (upper centre), but the work appears in otherwise good condition.
