Condition

This work is in good condition. There is light wear to the edges. Close inspection reveals unobtrusive hairline craquelures to the extreme edges and throughout the work. Under ultraviolet light, scattered specs toward four edges fluoresce in dark, most likely due to previous in-painting, but not visible with naked eye.
