Condition
This work is in beautiful state. It may have never been cleaned or restored. The canvas has relaxed noticeably on its stretcher. The stretcher should be carefully expanded in order to tighten the canvas. The frame may need to be adjusted slightly to accommodate this. The work is otherwise in wonderful condition.
