Condition
The work is in very good original condition. The board is laid down on a cradled panel. There is minor craquelure and losses to the pigment in the extreme lower left edge, most likely from the rubbing of the frame. A minor fleck of paint loss to the center of the right edge and another in the left foreground at the green window shutter. Under UV light: there is no evidence of repainting.
