Condition

This work is in a generally good condition. There appears to be a few spots of fine craquelures as well as a few very small spots of paint loss scattered throughout the painting. There is a small spot of paint lifting from the canvas (appr. 30 cm from the top and 40 cm from the left edge), causing minor cracking. The work is framed and was not examined out of frame nor under UV light.
