Please find below a condition report provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
Under extreme pressure and with very strong solvent, the signature and other areas of the painting are soluble. However, despite this I consider the signature and the bulk of the picture to be original and authentic, although it does read strongly under ultraviolet light.
