Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined. There is a slight undulation in the canvas in the lower left corner. There are some fine lines of craquelure in the central passage in the upper third. There are some accretions and minor surface dirt. The work appears to be in overall excellent condition. Inspection under ultra violet light reveals no obvious signs of retouching. The work is held in a simple wooden slip frame.
