Condition
This work is in very good condition. The canvas has been lined. The colors are extremely fresh and vibrant. Some very light surface staining within yellow pigment at left. Extremely fine circular lines of stable impact craqueleur spread outward from the column of cream colored pigment at left. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce though no inpainting is apparent and a thick layer of varnish is difficult to read through.
