Condition Report
The canvas has an old relining. Traces of craquelure to some areas, in particular the borders and corners; some flecks of paint loss to the upper and lower left corners. Otherwise the paint surface appears to be clean overall. Ultraviolet reveals a few areas of infilling to craquelure, particularly to the centre of the work. Held in a gilt frame in fair condition.
