Condition report
Original canvas. The paint surface is dirty, mainly due to a discoloured varnish. Traces of craquelure pattern visible on close inspection, other minor surface stains but generally paint surface is sound. Ultraviolet light reveals traces of retouching to frame abrasions and one small spot, lower left, however an opaque varnish prevents conclusive examination. Held in a plaster gilt frame, generally sound but some chips to giltwork.
