Condition
The canvas is tightly stretched and unlined. There are no signs on inpainting under UV light. There are some frame abrasions on all four edges—but not visible in current frame. There is some craquelure to the paint—most specifically to the green and black areas. There are three small specs of paintloss on the upper left quadrant. There are four more areas of paintloss along the central section of the painting—most likely cause because there is a greater accumulation of paint in these areas. Overall, the work is in good condition.
