Condition
Executed on card laid down on canvas. The extreme perimeter of the canvas has been taped, and very minor frame abrasion has occurred to the extreme edges, including a minor loss at the bottom right corner. The impasto has been exceptionally well preserved, and there is minor cracking to the thickest areas of pigment which is inherent to the artist's technique. There are larger lines of cracking at the top left (horizontal) and bottom left and right corners (vertical) which appear to be original. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce but no inpainting is apparent. The work is in very good condition.
