Condition

The work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There is evidence of water-staining throughout the right side and some irregular pigmentation in the upper right. The work could benefit from a cleaning by a conservator. There are some faint scattered accretions on the left of the composition. There is some very subtle cracking at the turning edges. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of inpainting. Framed.
