Condition

There are some frame abrasions by the upper left corner, lower left corner and left side. There are scattered specks of paint loss, mostly in the upper half. The figure in the red robe presents two vertical fine white lines—perhaps not inherent to the work. There are no signs of inpainting under UV light inspection. Overall, this work appears to be in very good condition.
