Condition
Original canvas, undulating slightly in the upper left and upper right corners. A strip of adhesive tape runs along the outer edges of the canvas.
There are a few small, faint areas of craquelure near the upper left edge and there may be one or two minor losses to some of the thicker spots of impasto; otherwise the work appears in good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals no apparent signs of retouching.
Held in a wooden box frame with a gilt border.
