Condition
The canvas has not been lined. There is a pattern of hairline craquelure and a very small restoration visible in the lower right corner. Ultra-violet light reveals very few small scattered signs of cosmetic retouching. The picture is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a Flemish-style ebonised frame.
