Condition report: Oil on canvas. The canvas tension is poor and it is resting against the central cross bar of the stretcher. There are concave deformations along the upper edge which were probably caused by something resting against the paint surface, pushing it backwards. There is a networks of cracks across the paint surface which is prominent in the darker background. The paint layer is stable overall. The gloss varied across the surface due to locally applied varnish. The frame is in a good condition.
