Condition report:
The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. The canvas tension is good and the picture is in plane. The paint layer is slightly worn in the thinner paint passages but is stable overall. Areas of overpaint are present in localised areas across the surface and is reasonably well matched to the original. The varnish is even and slightly yellowed. Framed 67.3 x 82cm
