Condition
The board is stable and is slightly convex. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal lines of retouching related to craquelure in places, most predominately to the lower right and left quadrants and further areas of retouching to the upper left corner and lower right corner. There are lines of craquelure and paint shrinkage throughout the composition. There is some frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in fairly good condition.
