Condition

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. Evidence of light wear and minor losses along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image, as it is covered by the framed. There is some light craquelure on the surface of the work but this is stable and consistent with age. Upon close inspection, there are small and minor losses to the pigment at the lower quadrant. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals spots of restoration at the sky and the lower left corner, but this is only visible under ultraviolet light. Framed.
