In good condition. The upper edge of the painting is minimally rubbed in places and shows tiny traces of soiling. There is some paint loss along the upper left edge. The lower left edge also shows slight rubbing, and a subtle vertical abrasion is visible in the bottom center-right of the painting. The glossy, impasto-like areas of paint show minor traces of craquelure, with isolated small spots of paint loss in places. There are a few isolated, tiny brown spots. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source, and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
