Condition
This painting is in a very good general condition overall. The work is framed and there are some small spots of golden paint that have rubbed off the frame and stuck to the surface of the painting along the upper and lower edges. But these could easily be removed with light cleaning. The work was not examined under UV light, nor out of frame.
