Condition
The painting has been relined. A few discolored retouches along the bottom and left edges are visible to the naked eye, but these are not disturbing. U.V. reveals some very small retouches and repairs to the canvas here and there, but again, these retouches are not disturbing.
Overall, the painting has nice retention of detail and impastos throughout. The picture is lovely and decorative and may be hung in its present state.
