Condition
The work is possibly relined with an old lining. The surface is good. There are the occasional, expected thin lines of craqueluer, quite minor and not noticeable. There is an area 1/2 inch diameter lower right where the paint is flat, possibly from a palate knife. The top of this circular area has a crack and is lifting slightly.
Under UV, there is some faint fluorescing in the extreme upper right that looks to be old varnish. Otherwise, no apparent inpainting.
