Condition Report*: Very good condition on original stretcher bars and in period frame. UV examination reveals no tears or patches despite the presence of a 1 1/2 x 1/2 inch strip of card-backed canvas adhered to back of canvas. This strip contains adhesive residue on its surface which suggests it may have once held a label of some kind. Small areas of inpainting at upper corner regions. Otherwise no restorations.
