Condition
Canvas is not lined. Surface displays a highly textured impasto. There are some thin, stable cracks in a few places, typically in the thicker pigments, but in isolated areas and not throughout. Under UV light there may be a few small strokes of inpainting around the extreme perimeter, but these few fluorescing spots may be the result of uneven varnish. Overall this work is in excellent condition.
