Condition Report

Overall the work is stable, attractive and in good condition considering age. The canvas has been relined and revarnished. There is inpainting, chipping and paint loss to the outer edges, likely from the process of relining and stabilizing the paint on the canvas. There is craquelure to the most recent layer of varnish, surface soiling is visible on this layer as well.
