Condition
The work is overall in good condition. Upon close inspection, there are minor signs of hairline craquelure in scattered places, all of which appear to be in stable condition. Examination under UV light reveals minor signs of retouching, predominately in the center and top right corner. These traces suggest that the canvas was previously removed from the stretcher and rolled up.
