Condition
The glass is sound. There are some very fine webs of craquelure with associated paint losses predominately to the upper left corner. There is some small lifting of the painted surface with associated lines of craquelure towards the centre of the composition (approx. 26cm from the lower edge and 32cm from the left edge) and to the extreme lower left edge. As this is a specific medium, precise pictures are available from the department.
