The painting bears some issues. There is craquelure throughout (the canvas is not completely stable), as well as a small (but still noticeable) area of loss in the lower left quadrant of the picture surface (as well as another area of loss to the lower right quadrant). There are also indentations caused by the stretcher support. The picture surface bears a glossy varnish layer and would benefit from being cleaned. Picture surface tension is about average; it is slightly slack, but no more so than usual for a painting of its age. Please seee additional images available on request.
