Condition
Mounted on a stretcher, there are very minor cracks no longer than 1 cm visible on the surface of the canvas - this is likely inherent to the scraping method used by the artist. There is also a large stain along the canvas that is visible from the reverse. It appears to have been repaired by the artist and is stable. Work was not examined under UV light.
