This work is in very good condition. There is a faint stretcher mark parallel to the top edge and another fine horizontal line 5cm beneath this. There is a tiny faint rub mark towards the upper right corner and a further mark towards the centre right of the lower edge. There is wear with associated tiny paint losses to the upper corner tips (with a further minute speck of paint loss 1cm below the upper right corner tip on the turnover edge) as well as to the lower left corner tip. There is a small stable tension craquelure to the lower right corner tip, and several further tension cracks upon close inspection of the extreme turnover edges. There is a tiny spot of retouching in the lower left corner tip and one 4cm above this on the left turnover edge.
