Condition
Oil on board. Surface is slightly dirty and covered with a layer of light varnish. There is very minor craquelure, particularly in the upper right and lower right corners, and to the left of the center, near the edge. There are several minor scratches where a little paint has been lost. There are 6 barely visible pinholes across the top of the board and and minor paint loss resulting from these holes. There are also several pinholes around the other edges, barely visible to the naked eye. Under UV some pigments fluoresce, but the varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a black painted wood frame. Unexamined out of frame.
