Condition
The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. Craquelure is present throughout the work, specifically in the areas of impasto. Minor areas of paint loss are scattered throughout the work; however, the paint layer seems stable overall. Under ultraviolet inspection, areas fluoresce by this is most probably inherent to the pigment used by the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
