Condition

This work is in very good condition. There is a 2 in. diameter circular craquelure pattern 4 ½ in. from the left and 6 ½ in. from the top of the painting. There are a few scattered minute lines of craquelure which appear to have been stabilized, the largest of which measures 1/8 in. long and is 3 ½ in. from the right and 4 ¼ in. from the top of the painting. Under raking light, nuances in the paint application can be seen in a few small spots. Under ultra-violet light inspection there is no evidence of inpainting. Unframed.
