Condition
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a small number of minute paint losses to the extreme right side edge towards the lower right corner and one on the extreme upper edge towards the upper right corner. Further extremely close inspection reveals a few minute hairline cracks in a few isolated places towards the upper half of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
