Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling toward the edges. There is some fine and stable craquelure on the bear's face and body. There are some varnished areas in the sky that fluoresce darkly under Ultraviolet light inspection, but do not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.
