Condition Report

The painting is an oil on canvas, unframed. The canvas appears generally good - no obvious holes or tears although there is some slight loss of tension. The paint surface appears stable and well preserved. The painting would benefit from cleaning; there is dirt and staining present - predominantly around the edges - from storage and handling.
