Condition
The work is in very good condition overall. The work was painted within its frame already in place. The surface is richly textured and the impasto is well-preserved. In the dark blue pigments, there is pigment shrinkage throughout. Under UV light, there is a thick layer of varnish, but no inpainting is apparent.
