Condition: Good
To the unaided eye, this piece appears to be in good condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals normal fluorescence of the artist's pigments and no signs of restoration. There is a light crazing throughout the surface of the piece which does not appear to have resulted in any paint loss. The piece is framed in a dark antiqued gold carved frame. The frame is in good condition for its age, showing normal signs of wear and light separation at its corners.
