Condition

Overall the work is in very good condition. The canvas is unlined. There are a few areas of raised pigment dotting the surface of the canvas; some of these show signs of minor pinpoint losses. There are a few scattered areas of craquelure throughout, namely in the thickest areas of pigment. The canvas shows a number of soft creases due to the artist's working method. Framed.
