Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is some wear to the edges of the work, due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. The paint layers are healthy overall. There are faint, diagonal white scuffs to clouds at top right corner. Upon close inspection, there is some minor craquelure at areas of thicker impasto, consistent with the age of the work. There are very minor dents along the bottom edge of the work, consistent with the stretcher board. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration. Framed.
