Signed to the lower right. Well presented in an ornate gilt frame. On canvas on stretchers.Condition
Overall, the artwork is in very good condition. Craquelure and some slight discolouration. Small loss to the paint near the upper margin. Light wear to the frame, including some cracking and overpainting to the lower right.
