Condition
This work is in beautiful condition. It is well stretched. It is undamaged and seems to be unrestored. The slightly spotty finish to the paint layer in some areas, such as the lower and upper right, is original. The uneven varnish to the work is original. It is possible that a small white spot in the center of the right side may actually be a paint loss. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
