Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges with one noticeable handling mark in the upper right corner. There is some extremely light and scattered hairline craquelure at the pull margins. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is a 2 ½ inch horizontal line in the center of the canvas 3 inches from the top which fluoresces darkly, and may be the result of restoration. Framed.
