Condition
Canvas is supported by paperboard. There is visible surface dirt. Paperboard has warped, likely due to the weight of the medium. There are frame abrasions along the extreme edges. Very minor small loss in extreme upper right corner, potentially other pinpoint losses scattered across the canvas. Lightly scattered fine cracquelure. Surface cracks have led to slight paint flaking, mostly limited to the extreme corners. Under ultraviolet light pigments fluoresce.
