Condition
The painting appears to be in very good condition for its age. There is faint craquelure throughout, and the paint layer appears to be very stable. Rabbet rub is visible along the top frame edge. Minor scattered dots of inpainting, lower left at frame edge. There was a very good repair upper left in the sky, only visible under black light. Repair measures 4 1/2 inches horizontal, 3 1/2 inches diagonal, and very good inpainting to the repair. Repair patch visible on verso and the canvas was lined and likely cleaned at the same time.
The antique frame appears to be in good condition with minor scattered flaking throughout and small losses of moulding and frame at the upper right, lower right, and lower left corners. The frame presents well.
