This work is in very good, stable and near original condition.
There is a 14 cm soft horizontal surface abrasion to the extreme upper left edge likely caused by old frame contact. This is minor and visible in the enlarged online catalogue image.
Under ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of past restoration.
The work is housed in a moulded timber gilt frame.
