Condition

This work is in good condition overall, as is the board, which is not warped or cracked. Indications of minor wear and handling are found along the margins of the painting, along with the associated restoration (most notably on the right side), which are consistent with the age of the work and is apparent only under ultraviolet light. Upon examination under ultraviolet light, pin-sized spots of foxing are visible on the bottom right. Framed.
