Condition

Overall the work is in excellent condition. The sheet is hinged to a backing board at multiple locations on the verso. The sheet undulates slightly. There is evidence in some areas where the oil in the medium has seeped onto the unprimed paper; this is inherent to the medium. The colors are fresh and vibrant and the surface retains a rich and textured impasto. Framed under Plexiglas.
