Lined canvas. Mild frame abrasion at edges. Some yellowing to the varnish layer. Finely patterned craquelure throughout. A small occurrence of pigment separation near center of lower edge. A small area of surface abrasion near center of left edge, most apparent under raking light. Mild surface dirt and dust.
Under UV: heavily applied varnish fluoresces green unevenly. Brushy retouching to edges, particularly in lower left corner. There appears to be an older campaign of some very finely applied retouching beneath the varnish layer addressing craquelure. A few additional small dots of retouching scattered throughout .
