Condition
This painting is overall in very good, original condition. The varnish is very dirty and is likely original to the painting. There is a shallow 8-inch vertical scratch at the lower center margin, which appears to be almost entirely within the varnish, though there are small impressions in the canvas at the beginning and end of the scratch where the paint layer may have been affected. Along the top margin there are some areas of bare canvas—these do not appear to be flaking paint, but simply an area that the artist didn’t paint. The canvas is taught and well-stretched. The frame has some flaking areas but is generally in very good condition.
