Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges. The application of the pigment and the work's surface is varied, due to the artist's working method. There is some stable and unobtrusive craquelure in the green dot at the upper left of the canvas. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
