Condition
Oil on unlined canvas. Canvas is somewhat slack on the stretcher and there is minor bumping across the lower half and in the upper corners. The picture surface is in generally good condition with fresh impasto and a thick shiny unevenly applied varnish. Under UV light some of the varnish fluoresces green and is difficult to read through and there are no apparent inpaints visible.
