Restoration: The painting retains an antique canvas lining. The painting was removed from the stretchers and placed on a heat table for flattening. The old lining has held up and has not been removed. No inpaint was required although there are several small areas that have probably had some attemtion in the past, totalling perhaps 1% to 2% of the total area of the work.
Frame: An elaborate gilt gesso over carved wood frame displaying an inner beaded border to a projecting cylindrical moulding with relief floral and ribbon decoration at the corners, then dropping back to an outer panel of openwork foliate decoration and protruding foliate-carved corners. Probably of 19th century make.
