François Boucher

"The following condition report has been provided by Henry Gentle, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Replica Shoes 's. The paint surface is stable but slightly raised. Retouched damages to the paint surface in the sky are visibly discoloured. There are one or two restorations that are excessive. There is relatively little intervention to the figures of the putti, one or two small retouchings can be detected. The removal of the moderately discoloured varnish would improve the tonality."
"This lot is offered for sale subject to Replica Shoes 's Conditions of Business, which are available on request and printed in Replica Shoes 's sale catalogues. The independent reports contained in this document are provided for prospective bidders' information only and without warranty by Replica Shoes 's or the Seller."
