Condition: Good, the painting has still fine colors. There is some age related wear like some spots. The wooden frame shows it s age but in my opinion also ads a charm to the painting because of that. The painting is behind glass. Because of the glass there is some reflection visible. Therefore the colors and details are shown less sharp then they really are.
