Condition

The canvas has an old stable relining. The paint surface, which is under a discoloured varnish, is generally sound but the paint has somewhat thinned. The thick varnish prevents throughout inspection under ultraviolet light although some recent minor retouchings do flouresce. The paint is offered in a later wooden frame with some damages on all sides.
