CONDITION DETAILS
overall very good condition, noted: there is a small spot in the bottom centre that looks like it may be a small scrape (or intentional) where the top layer of paint is worn off showing white or the gesso below, there is also a small network of cracking paint beside this; above this area is a small indentation in the canvas showing a little white beneath this followed by a faint horizontal scratch in the paint to the right of this indentation; there is a similar indentation and scratch in the paint above this area in the center, else ok
