Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is some minor rubbing along the left edge due to prior frame abrasion. Canvas is slightly buckling at the lower right corner. Under UV light: the green pigments toward the lower left corner, in the region of the signature, fluoresce but appear to be original. Otherwise fine, this work is in excellent condition.
