Condition

- In fairly good condition for its age. - Illustrated colours are slightly more intense than that of the actual piece. - Some minor restorations of paper loss are found, mainly on the upper section of the painting; clusters of light foxings are only visible if examining closely. - The painting is housed in abbreviated Song-style mounting, which apperantly bears some history.
