Condition
The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. Craquelure is present throughout, particularly in the lower left and lower right quadrants. Paint loss is also scattered throughout the work. The surface does, however, appear stable overall. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs but this is more than likely inherent to the pigment/paint selected by the artist. This work is in very good condition overall.
