Condition

This work has recently been restored and is in very good condition. There are some very faint scratches and scattered pin-sized pigment losses in the gold leaf, likely due to the artist's choice of medium. There are two minor areas of craquelure in the center of the lower gold leaf portion of the composition. There is some minor wear to the extreme edges of the canvas. Framed.
