4.20.21-In my opinion regarding: LOT: 1217- The frame appears largely intact with some variations of paint which presumably are touchups, there are some wood losses throughout including to birds tails and beaks, some flowers, and other small carved bits, the crest does show some lines, I am sorry I am unable to examine the top fully, the canvas hangs a bit lose, we are not able to see the back as it is mounted in a large crate and we are unable to remove it, I examined the canvas with a visual examination only, I note some areas with abrasions to paint particularly at the lower left and lower right quadrants, there appears to be some variation to paint above the woman’s head, otherwise I observe only light craquelure, and wear, I note no visible tears to canvas from the front view
