In good to very good condition. Very small, silver-coloured deposits from the frame in places along the edges of the picture. White, crystalline-looking marks on the paint surface in places in the lower and left-hand areas of the picture, probably caused by the natural ageing of the colors. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
For information concerning the condition, please view the high resolution image / backside image.
