Lined, all keys present, fair tension. Somewhat pressed in the lining process. Finescale brittle age craquelure throughout, flat and stable. Numerous scattered losses, most crudely filled and retouched, including a network around the horse. There is a very degraded old varnish layer, which is yellowed, darkened and crizzled scattering the light and making it difficult to see the extent of the losses and other overpaint. There has been some abrasion to delicate paint layers, some of which is likely reinforced with overpaint. Uneven surface gloss, onld ingrained dirt and varnish, light surface dirt and debris.
