Condition
The canvas is unlined and tightly stretched with some rippling to the canvas on the upper edhe. The work appears to have been re-stretched at some point after the work was made by the artist, and therefore, the upper and lower edges exhibit signs of staple marks, and present craquelure and minor holes. There is scattered craquelure and creases throughout particularly extending down the center of the canvas and in the lower and upper edges. Under UV light inspection, there are is a possible restoration in the lower third of the canvas. Overall, the work appears to be in good condition.
