Condition
The canvas is unlined and well stretched. There is a 1/8 in. area of paint loss to the top edge on the far right. There is craquelure throughout the work. There is a ½ in. intermittent scratch in the center of the top edge and a vertical crease in the upper left corner. Under ultraviolet light there appears to be a slightly opaque varnish. Overall the painting appears to be in stable and good condition.
