Condition
(This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Conservation, Inc.)
This painting is in more or less original condition. The canvas is unlined and although some cracking has developed to the paint layer, it is not unstable.
The paint layer appears to be clean and there is a small retouch in the center of the left side near the edge. Elsewhere there appear to be no further retouches, except for a few tiny dots on the extreme right edge addressing some frame abrasion. Any scrapes, eccentric patches of paint or thinness of paint is intentional. The picture should be hung as is.
