Condition

This work is not lined, and there is some staining on the reverseo of the canvas due to the application of paint. The picture surface is in generally good condition. There are some minor small losses throughout, many as a result of the artist's technique; there is a minor loss in the black in the lower left corner that is not. Under UV, there are no apparent signs of inpainting.
