The support appears to consist of three horizontal panels and is cradled to the reverse. The paint surface is generally secure although somewhat abraded. There are hairline cracks along the panel joins and some small surface scratches. Scattered retouchings are visible under UV light although thorough inspection is impeded by the varnish. Offered in a faux tortoise shell ripple frame in fair condition with some small knocks.
