Condition

Good antique condition overall.

The painting displays well with attractive age-related craquelure, minor surface marks and light paint wear consistent with over 100 years of age. The original frame has age-related wear and patina.

The original wooden backing board shows age-related wear, shrinkage and slight movement. It remains complete and functional but would likely benefit from replacement if the painting were to undergo professional conservation.

Antique items may show signs of age and use.
