The canvas is secure on the stretcher and sits well within the frame. Unexamined out of frame. Fairly significant craquelure and some pigment separation throughout. Small losses and holes to the canvas in areas, and a tear to the canvas upper right. Four patches to the reverse of the canvas, with corresponding repaired damage evident to the recto. Areas of restoration visible to the recto, particularly in the lower right corner. Abrasions to the surface, particularly at the upper edge. Marks, surface dirt, and abrasions throughout. In poor condition overall.
