Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light wear along the edges of the work, due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. There is some paint shrinkage at black pigments, consistent with the age of the work, but this is only visible upon very close inspection. The small areas of paint loss are likely inherent to the work, as the artist may have used a dry brush when painting. There is a pen mark on the work, but this is removable through a cleaning. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration. Framed.
