Dimensions: 23 1/2 x 35 1/2 in., (59.5 x 90 cm.) Condition: The canvas remains taut and stable on its original stretcher. The paint surface is clean, with no evidence of overpaint or restoration under normal light. Colors are strong and vibrant, retaining their original depth and sheen. Very minor scattered surface scuffs and faint abrasions are visible upon close inspection, but these do not detract from the overall presentation. No visible paint loss or flaking. The frame, a giltwood molding with black liner, shows age-related wear, including small chips and rubbing along edges and corners, but remains solid and presentable.
