Condition

Oil on canvas. The surface is slightly dirty and covered with a layer of varnish. The canvas is very slightly buckled in the upper left corner. There is a spot of paint loss in the upper right corner. The picture appears to be in fine state. Under UV certain pigments fluoresce but this could be original; varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a gold painted wood frame with plaster molding. Unexamined out of frame.
