Condition
The following condition report has been prepared by Simon Parkes Art Conservation: This oil on canvas board has never been cleaned or restored. The paint layer is very healthy, but slightly dirty. The corners are slightly scuffed and need a small amount of repair. The thinness along the bottom edge is probably original but there are a couple of spots in the lower right which could receive retouches. The technique of the artist is well preserved throughout. The surface should not be varnished.
