Condition Report:
The work has been examined framed. Canvas is not lined. There is some light frame rubbing along the extreme edges. There are thin lines of stable craquelure throughout the composition. There is a uneven and milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. However, examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. This work is in overall very good condition.
