03/17/2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 1179- please note that I am not an expert on such works, so have taken numerous high-resolution images for your review, a careful UV light examination reveals an aged varnish layer, scattered areas of inpainting primarily concentrated along the outer edges and lightly dispersed throughout the composition, the surface shows inherent paint texture with slight irregularities and minor areas of varnish buildup, along with light surface accretions and very minor craquelure, the board appears intact, the frame exhibits typical wear including scattered chips, nicks and small glue repairs to molded elements, all commensurate with age, handling and display
