Condition Report
No obvious holes or tears, but the painting has been professionally restored, possibly for cracking to the surface. Re-touching and over-painting are visible under UV light throughout. The painting would benefit from cleaning. There are significant losses to the frame, both front and back, but it does look contemporary to the canvas.
