Lot 163

Generally in good condition consistent with age, with typical minor wear. There is fine shrinkage cracking to the gilt gesso surfaces throughout with occasional slight superficial losses to this, and the ebonising to the slip is a little crazed and discoloured.

The plate, the silvering of which shows only a few slight blemishes, may be an old replacement. (The appearance of the plate in the catalogue photograph has been modified; it does not represent the actual appearance of the plate.)
