Condition Report

Frame: 28 1/8 x 24 3/8 inches. In good, stable condition overall. Very faint instances of craquelure to the paint layer, mostly to the lower-right corner. With Richard Green, London gallery label to the reverse that erroneously attributes painting to Robert Gemmell Hutchison; label could have been affixed to the back of the painting in error. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of repair; minor touches of paint that lightly fluoresce in lower-right corner, but likely part of original composition. Additional images available upon request.
