Condition

Good, original condition. The painterly marks remain raised and in good condition. There is no visible cracking or crazing on the surface. The work has slipped or does not fit in the frame, so this surface is rough down the side and there are some pin marks visible along the top. This work would benefit from a light varnish. UV inspection suggests no retouching/repainting.
