Condition
The canvas is unlined and well stretched. The edges appear to show some craquelure and minor frame abrasions. There is craquelure in the violet section in the lower third of the canvas. There is another section of craquelure concentrated in the upper left quadrant in the light yellow section. There is some darkening along the left side of the upper edge. Under UV light inspection there are no apparent signs of inpainting. Overall, the work is in very good condition.
