Condition
Oil on unlined canvas. The canvas is of a relatively coarse weave. There is minor bumping in the canvas along the upper and lower stretcher, especially in the lower left corner. The picture surface is in generally good condition with strong colors. Apparent pinpoint losses are actually resultant from the artist's scumbling technique. Under UV light, there are no apparent inpaints visible.
