Condition
This work is generally in good condition with surface accretion and specks of molding throughout. There are two linear scratches near the top and bottom edges that presumably came from the original condition of the canvas. There are linear webs of cracks to the impasto at the center, and there is evidence of restoration to these cracks when the work is examined under ultraviolet light. The condition of the work is consistent with its age and the artist's technique and choice of material.
