Condition Report:
The work was examined framed. There are two tiny paint losses towards the center of the upper edge. There is a minor scuff mark towards the centre in the grey pigment. There are areas of short and fine craquelures in isolated places in the black paint, most notably around the centre of the composition and towards the upper right vertical edge. There are splash accretions in places. Under UV light, a circular black area in the upper right edge consistent with a historic retouching flouresces and there is a whiteish area in the green paint which also flouresces. The work is in overall good condition.
