Condition
This painting is in beautiful condition. It has recently been restored. The canvas has been lined and the paint layer has been cleaned and lightly varnished. Very few retouches have been applied and even though in its current framing arrangement some minor losses along the extreme edge are visible, there are hardly any other retouches to the picture. We recommend that the picture be hung as is.
