The paint is in very good condition, with a tiny amount of craquelure in the lower part of the painting. Due to the age, I would think that this piece has been cleaned at some point. A gallery patch was removed from the back of the canvas, with fragments remaining. The painting appears to have been placed on a new stretcher circa 1960s. The frame is gorgeous with the gilt in good condition. There is some separating and cracking at all four corners, see pictures. Despite the cracking, it is still in good structural condition and is sturdy. less
