Condition
There is evidence of wear and losses along the edges due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. There is some craquelure to the pigment, consistent with the age of the work. There is a minor loss to the thick, green impasto at the bottom center of the work. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals minor spots of restoration along the left side of the upper edge and at the bottom right edge near the corner. Framed.
