Condition

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light paint shrinkage at darker pigments with some associated losses, particularly at the bottom quadrants, and there is some very faint hairline craquelure, but this is consistent with the age of the work. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration as viewed. Framed.
