Condition

The medium is oil on canvasboard. The work is in very good overall condition. There is some minor surface dust throughout. The thick impasto is very nicely retained overall with just a few tiny chips in the lower left quadrant. There is some very minor cracking throughout. Under UV: there are some areas of fluorescence throughout which are most likely associated with the pigments and the artist's technique. The colors are vivid and the work presents very well.
