The frame back has 2 chips of the wood making it appear to be much older than the painting and which it very well may be much older than the painting.Condition is very good considering its age. There are no holes, tears, scratches, craquelure, or restorations in the painting. It had been wrapped in old newspaper, a small piece of it stuck to the frame back. 4 dots of it on the front of the Rabbi's black robe may have been intended by the artist, because it seems to coordinate with the "angel in the mist" in flight above him.
