Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There are minor hairline craquelures throughout, consistent to the age of the medium. One vertical crack is evident to the right centre (both 30 cm from top and right), measures approx. 9 cm, which has already been stabilised with a wooden patch on the reverse (patch measures 19 by 16 cm). Two tiny media accretions are found to lower half. No evidence of restoration when examined under ultraviolet light.
