Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of wear along the edges of the work, including a small area of paint loss at the left edge. There is some craquelure to the paint, but this is only visible upon close inspection. There are some scuffs at the lower quadrant. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals areas of restoration on the work, primarily at the background of the bottom half of the painting. Framed.
