Anonymous, South American School (18th Century)

Gifted to the present owner circa 1968

This work is in generally good condition. It appears that the original canvas has been trimmed and mounted onto another piece of well-stretched canvas. Craquelure is present throughout the work; however, the paint layer does appear stable overall and a varnish is visible throughout the work. Paint loss is intermittently visible along the right edge. A minor dent/indentation to the canvas is present in the upper left quadrant. Under ultraviolet inspection, a varnish is visible. Additionally, in-painting is found along the edges of the canvas. In-painting is also concentrated within the boat in the lower left quadrant, and within and to the right of the Virgin’s cloak.
