This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges of the canvas, resulting in some loss and exposure of the raw canvas along the extreme edges. There is some very subtle rippling to the canvas along the sides visible under raking light, most likely from being slightly slack on its stretcher. There is evidence of fine, horizontal hairline craquelure along the top and bottom of the canvas and a few scattered pinpoint losses. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
