Condition

This work is in good sound condition. There is evidence of paint losses along the extreme top edge. There are scattered areas of fine craquelure, particularly evident in the small upper black orb; central black orb; and small black trapezoid shape in upper right quadrant. Under ultra-violet inspection, there is evidence of pin-point spots of retouching, mostly noticeable towards the edges, where the painting may have been rubbed by a previous frame. Framed.
