Condition
This work seems to have been intentionally painted in a primitive fashion, perhaps imitating a fresco. The dry rough surface seems to be intentional. The work seems to be unrestored. The painting appears to have never been cleaned or varnished, which is probably the appropriate method of presentation in this case. There are some losses along the extreme edges.
