Condition
This work is generally in good condition. There are scattered craquelures across the surface with the largest measuring around 7cm in the upper center. There are several minor bulges near the bottom edge and occasional paint losses with the largest measuring 0.7 cm in diameter on the lower quadrant, near the lower back of the blue creature. These are all consistent with the age of the work. Please note that it was not examined under ultraviolet light.
