Condition report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The canvas is not relined and mounted on the original stretcher. The outer edges and the corners in the overlap slightly scuffed. At the lower left edge one miniscule nick in the stretcher (0,3 cm). In places, mainly at the top centre as well as in the area of the semi-oval elevation hairline craquelure. The protruding edge of the half-oval slightly dusty. Isolated faint scuff marks with superficial differences in surface shine (varying depending on light conditions) and minuscule liquid stains. In the lower center of the image 3 short professionally retouched horizontal surface scratches (up to 4 cm, slightly visible). Under ultraviolet light no further retouchings or repairs visible.
