This work is in excellent condition overall. It is affixed from the stretcher to a wood mount, which also serves as the frame. Therefore, it is not possible to see the reverse of the canvas. The colors are quite vibrant. There is a small amount of surface dirt at the edges. There is a tiny loss of white pigment at the lower left edge.
