CONDITION
Observed in frame, the painting is in good condition, a minuscule spot of paint loss upper left, some minor surface grime. UV light inspection showed a small spot of restoration along the right edge, patched on verso. Looks like an overpainted signature on the left, original to the piece, does not show in UV light.
