Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The canvas has been lined. There is evidence of minor wear and handling to the corners and turning edges, resulting in a few, unobtrusive pinpoint losses. Under close inspection and raking light, there are several scattered areas of fine, stable radiating craquelure. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are several scattered areas, particularly in the top half of the work, which fluoresce darkly. Framed.
