Condition report
The picture has been relined.
Some craquelure.
Discoloured varnish in places.
Some patches of pale grey, particularly down the right hand side, could be some retouching but it doesn't fluoresce, so could be discoloured varnish.
Some surface dirt and a few minor very small dark marks.
Overall generally presents well.
The line on the left side that can be seen in the current image is just a cobweb.
An opaque varnish prevents a reading under uv light.
