Condition
This work may still be on its original stretcher. It is undamaged and probably unrestored. All of the
eccentric spots and scrapes to the paint layer are original. Around the extreme edges, there are very slight scuffs and tiny paint losses, but these would traditionally be under the frame. There are no damages. The work does not seem dirty but neither has it been cleaned. It has not been varnished or retouched. The work is in beautiful condition.
