Condition Report:
The work was examined framed. There are some thin vertical cracks to the panel in the lower part of the composition and some irregularities to the upper edge in line with the artist's chosen support. There is a tiny paint loss in the upper right corner. Upon close inspection, the thicker ares of impasto present drying cracks with associated paint losses in places. Examination under UV light reveals scattered areas of retouching. The work is in overall good condition.
