Condition Report

There is a simple outline of a fish sketched on the reverse. There are minor losses along the edges, some of which have been retouched. There is minor additional retouch. There are three repairs in the lower left quadrant, the largest of which is the size of a silver dollar. The craquelure has some areas that are just begining to cup.
