Condition

This work is in good overall condition. There is evidence of light handling and wear, and a very light matte burne around the edges which is not visible when framed. There are scattered fine abrasions and assoicated minute losses around the extreme edges which are also not visible when framed. The surface of the painting could benefit from a light cleaning. There is a 1/2 inch line of restoration at the top left corner, as well as a few scattered spots of restoration around the edges which fluoresce darkly under UV light. Framed.
