Condition:

Framed: 42.7 by 90.3cm., 16¾ by 35½in. The board is stable and laid down on another board. Inspection under UV light reveals a milky varnish through which UV light cannot fully penetrate, but does reveal a few tiny spots of retouching to the composition. There is some wear to the lower left corner and some historic frame abrasion to the extreme edges. There is some surface dirt with minor accretions in places. This work is in overall good condition.
