Condition
The canvas is not lined. The surface is slightly dirty and would benefit from a cleaning. Some thin stable cracks are visible at some of the thickest areas of white pigment. There are a few small losses and areas of rubbing in the perimeter due to prior frame abrasion. Two pin dots of loss in white pigment near the center right edge. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent. The work is in excellent condition. Please note: this work is sold without a frame.
