Private Collection, Château de Rosères-près-Troyes

This circular work is on a healthy and flat piece of copper. The paint layer is stable and has recently been restored. There are restorations in the left side of the neck of the Madonna, in the clouds to the right of her hips, and in the clouds in the upper center. There are a few other isolated spots of restoration, but the condition is clearly very good. The details are still very sharp and clear. The work should be hung as is.
