Condition Report:
The canvas has not been lined. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals some areas of fluorescence which appear to be associated to the artist's pigments rather than to restoration. Some minor pin-head sized spots of cosmetic retouching are visible in the background in the upper right corner. Otherwise, this work is in very good condition and is ready to hang.

Presented in a decorative gilt frame with a beige inner slip.
