Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light wear and 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 frame itself. There is craquelure to the paint, but this is stable and consistent with the age of the work. There is some discoloration to the varnish and aging dirt on the surface, but this is easily removable through a light professional cleaning. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration as viewed. Framed.
