Condition Report:
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of minor wear along the edges of the work, but these are covered by the frame. There is some minor undulation to the work, consistent with the nature of the medium. There is a stain near the lower right corner of the work, but this is possibly inherent to the artist's working method. There are some minor scuff marks along the bottom edge of the work. All inconsistencies, such as the runs to the silk and effects of paint bubbles are inherent to the nature and age of the medium. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals minor signs of inpainting, likely executed by the artist himself. Framed. Framed dimensions: 106.3 by 67.6 cm.

Provenance:
