Condition Report: Overall light surface soiling; a few long lines of craquelure, an inherent vice of the medium, most noticeably a long line to the center and a smaller line to the right edge; a few spots where the wax is lifting; possible small losses to the wax throughout the work; all wear is typical of this series and is commensurate with age.
