Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The shaped canvas is unlined. There is a minor, unobtrusive diagonal pull in the center of the canvas, which is likely original. There are 2 small darker pigmented areas in the brown pigment in the upper center and lower left of the composition. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there are some scattered accretions evident in the lower right that are only faintly visible under normal light. Unframed.
