Condition
Very close inspection under raking light reveals two light and unobtrusive handling marks in the upper left quadrant. There is evidence of light craquelure to the pigment in the upper right corner and along the lower edge with some minor pigment losses, some of which appear unstable. Further inspection reveals some underlying pigment to show through along the upper and lower edges due to natural irregularities of the various pigment layers over time. Otherwise in good condition.
