Condition
Oil on canvas laid down on board. The surface has been flattened by its adhesion to the board. There is a very fine, almost imperceptible web of craquelure over the picture surface; abrasion along the extreme edges; a small 'T' shaped scratch in the upper left corner; and some discoloration along the left lower edge. Under UV: varnish fluoresces green unevenly and in a streaky manner at the left and right edges, though inpainting to address prior frame abrasion is still visible on top of this varnish along the upper edge.
