Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are scattered areas of craquelure, particularly in the dark grey areas. There appear to be some scattered losses and craquelure at the extreme edges of the canvas, particularly in the lower edge. Under ultraviolet light, these areas appear to have been stabilized with some scattered spots of inpainting along the lower edge. Unframed.
