CONDITION
Observed in frame, the painting appears in very good original condition. Very fine and stable, age appropriate overall craquelure visible to the lower right corner. Minor losses of paint to upper center edge. The board is slight concave due to age. Inspection under UV shows surface dust, but no apparent signs of restoration or repairs.
