Condition

This work appears in generally very good condition overall. The canvas is mildly slack in the stretcher, and as such, the top two corner edges are buckling slightly. There is evidence of diagonal bands of minor hairline cracking at the top corner edge, and the lower right corner edge. Under ultra violet light inspection there is no evidence of inpainting. The canvas is inscribed 732 Broadway NYC3 on the reverse. Framed in a dark wood frame.
