Condition

As viewed under UV light in the unopened frame:  Turns green under UV light so a complete UV analysis is not possible, however a few dabs of restoration show up in the sky and some in the lower center; scratches in the sky in the UL; overall stable craquelure; lined; later gilt frame is only slightly chipped and cracked.
