Condition
Condition Report from Simon Parkes, Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc., an independent conservator (9/23/2014): This work is on a panel with four reinforcements around the edges. The work is probably cleaned and varnished. No damage is apparent to the paint layer. There are only a few retouches on the bottom edge addressing some frame abrasion and possibly a few small dots in the darker colors. The condition is very good overall.
