Notes

Eric Price examined it in 1996 - noted the finish was intentionally distressed and coated with a white wash to imitate age. The frame has been cut down on all sides with visible cracks. There are overpainted repairs along the front edge and gesso is cracked on the outer edge was a scratch at the top.
