Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and the tacking edges are taped. There is wear and hairline cracking along the turning edges and corners of the canvas. Pinpoint holes are evident in the top left and bottom left corners, likely due to staples previous in the canvas. All areas of impasto are stable.
