Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of some light wear and handling, particularly along the edges, which has resulted in some minor paint loss. There is some slight craquelure at the pull margins and a minor evidence of scattered hairline craquelure towards the center of the canvas. There is a linear impression in the red portion of the arc on the right. In the yellow portion of the arc, there are three small areas that fluoresce darkly under Ultraviolet inspection and one area at the bottom center that fluoresces brightly. Framed.
