LITERATURE: N. Spinosa, Pittura Napoletana del Settecento: dal rococò al classicismo, Naples, Italy, 1987, pp. 112, 252, no. 118, illustrated (smaller study).

Wax lined canvas. Mild frame abrasion at edges. Yellowing to the varnish layer. Finely patterned craquelure. Scattered minor surface abrasions and faint hairline scratches. A few scattered small dots of loss, apparently stabilized beneath the varnish layer. Mild surface dirt and dust. Not examined out of frame due to size. Under UV: varnish fluoresces green unevenly. Brushy retouching at edges. Brushy strengthening applied to the architecture at upper center. Raised arms of the leftmost standing figure have been overpainted. Extensive but finely applied retouching throughout, primarily appearing to address craquelure. Framed Dimensions 42.5 X 59.25 X 3.5 Inches
