In good condition. Rebacked with a small piece of canvas on the reverse of the upper right quarter of the image carrier, the subjacent blemish on recto, presumably from the making, mainly visible in sided light and not impairing the overall impression. With studio traces. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the help of an ultraviolet light and to the best of knowledge.
