Condition

The work is overall in good and its original condition, except for a few very minor spots of dent in the top left and near the center, and slight undulation to the canvas around the corners due to mounting. Upon close inspection, there are minor signs of hairline craquelure in scattered places, all of which appear to be in stable condition. Examination under UV light reveals no sign of restoration.
