-Very good overall condition with bright, fresh colors. -We note a minor (less than 1/8 in.) surface gouge in panel at lower left in part of red curtain. -In raking light, we note some small areas that appear matte versus surrounding areas; these include parts of bottom of legs of easel and small areas of leaves (of plant in vase); these areas appear darker under U.V. light, likely due to varnish inconsistencies. .
