Condition
This work is in good condition overall. Only close inspection reveals hairline craqulures, consistent to the age of the medium. Minor paint loss is evident to the lower right corner (9 cm from right, 8 cm from bottom) measures approx. 0.5 cm. Under ultraviolet light examination, there are two minor area nearby upper and lower corners fluoresce in dark, possibly due to previous in-painting.
