Condition
Executed on paper mounted on cradled panel. The surface is highly textured and well preserved. A few stable hairline cracks visible in the pale blue border. Some very minor frame abrasion along the extreme perimeter, barely visible when framed. A small pinhole towards the upper right corner. The surface appears to be very slightly dirty. Under UV light some original pigments fluoresce but there does not appear to be any inpainting apart from a few strokes at the lower left edge in the light blue border. Otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
