In good condition. Slight craquelure in places and tiny to small areas of paint loss, some of which have been retouched, but hardly noticeable in the overall picture. Under UV light, further small retouching and overpainting is visible, mainly in the edge areas. The condition report was prepared in daylight and with the aid of a UV light source to the best of our knowledge and belief.
