This work is in very good condition overall. Very minor cracks are observed on the four inner corners of the frame. Visible only upon close examination, faint webs of craquelures are observed to be scarcely scattered throughout the thickly painted areas of the work which is consistent with artist's chosen medium and method of execution. A minor chip and evidence of wear are observed on the top right corner of the artist's original frame. No evidence of retouching is observed when examined under ultraviolet light. Framed.
