Condition: Very Good
To the unaided eye, this piece appears to be in very good condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a normal fluorescence of the artist's pigments. There are no signs of damage or restoration. There is a fine craquelure devoloping in parts of the piece, primarily in the lower right quadrant. The piece is framed in a dark antiqued gold and off-white frame with a linen liner and a gold fillet. The frame is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The liner has discoloration and some separation in the corners.
