FairNotes
In 1996 Eric Price noted the frame has a grime layer, the gesso is lifting extensively on front edge, but appears worst at left side center, the wood frame backing is separating from the front molding on the left side. The painted was varnished in the frame, and some gesso losses are overpainted.Provenance
