Condition
The reverse of this picture is untouched, and the stretcher is original. The paint layer is stable, healthy, clean and unrestored. Very faint scuffs in the corner are visible because the picture is now framed in a way that reveals all of the edges, but it is suggested that the work be hung as is.
