Condition
This work is in excellent condition. Canvas is lined, however the surface retains an amazingly rich and lively textured impasto throughout. The edges are reinforced with tape. There are some very minor touch-ups at the extreme lower left and upper right corners but no significant restorations are visible under UV light.
