Some wear to the pigment top left corner, and in other areas to a lesser extent. Some craquelure and discolouring of the varnish. Some small areas of re-touching. Signs of previous cracking towards the feet. Full dimensions to include the frame: 99 cm x 67 cm. The glass appears to be a later addition but still has some age.
