Condition

The work is in good condition overall. The paint layers and impastos are healthy. Upon close observation, there is evidence of dirt on the four corners and minor craquelures on the sky (near the middle of the top register). Examination under ultraviolet light shows light retouching along the bottom border and on the top right corner. However, this is not visible with the naked eye. Framed.
