2.15.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 1435- the canvas is possibly relined, as it is taught, a UV examination shows evidence of old varnish,  some small areas of paint loss, there is possible craquelure appearing as long vertical lines, this may be restoration, however I am unsure so have taken numerous images for your review, there is a stretcher line noted at upper left, however I am unsure, there is some spotting, slight discoloration, and some dirt and grime throughout, the frame exhibit some rubs, spotting, and wear, I am not an expert on such works so please let me know should you have further questions, please see attached images for your review.
