Condition

This picture is in very good condition with clear colours throughout. There are no sign of craquelure and the board is flat. The picture may benefit from a light clean to remove a layer of discoloured varnish and dirt. UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT Areas of the paint surface fluoresce but this does not seem to be consistent with retouching and appear to be the artist's original pigments and uneven varnish layers. FRAME Float-framed in a simple narrow wooden frame.
