Markings:

bears monogram, crown and inventory number of Don Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán on reverse of the panel: DGH 1364; inscribed with additional inventory number on the reverse: 141

Condition:

The panel is flat, uncradled and stable. The paint layer is stable, and the image reads relatively well despite being thinned in some areas. There is a thin crack at the center of the lower edge. There are a few small spots of old retouching visible to the naked eye, for example in the figure's left knee, a spot in her leg, and one small spot in the lower left background. Inspection under UV reveals a thick varnish that fluoresces unevenly throughout, making it difficult to discern possible areas of old restoration. More recent restoration, though, is visible in upper left sky, around the flying putti, and in the foliage at center left. Offered in a simple giltwood frame
