Good overall condition. Fine craquelure visible in places of the white areas as well as where white is mixed with other colors. Isolated tiny paint chips, some of which have been retouched. Retouching is visible under UV light in various areas, such as in the white areas around the red rectangle and at the left tip of the blue field. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source, and to the best of our knowledge and belief. [EH]
