Condition Report:
The canvas is lined, the paint surface is dirty and the varnish is discoloured. Inspection under ultraviolet light is impeded by the thick, milky varnish, but there appears to be little to no intervention. The painting is in overall very good condition, which will respond well to cleaning.
