Condition report:

Oil on canvas which has not been lined. The edges of the canvas are coming loose from the stretcher and have been reinforced with tape. The paint layer is in a good, stable condition overall. There are dark stains and accretions which are embedded into the paint layer in the central area. There is a thin varnish layer which is semi-matte, yellowed and no longer adequately saturating the darker paint passages. The painting is framed up against the glass with no gap and mould has started to form across the surface.
