Condition
There is fine craquelure present across the surface of the work, particularly around the edges of the painting. Very slight buckling to the canvas in the upper left section and small accretions around the signature and lower left edge. This painting would benefit from a light clean and re-stretching but is in good overall condition, as viewed.
Frame: There is some wear, cracking and minor losses to the frame as well as separation of joint in the upper right corner. Possibly an original frame.
