Condition

The canvasboard has been adhered to a piece of cardboard. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from some minor bumps and creases in each of the four corners and some minor abrasions along the extreme lower edge. There is also a disturbance to the paint layer near the signatures in the lower right corner. Under UV: the previously mentioned disturbance in the lower right corner fluoresces at its edges. The work is otherwise obscured by a heavy varnish that makes it difficult to read under UV light.
