Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is fine craquelure at the edges of the canvas. There are scattered surface abrasions to the painted surface which appear inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is evidence of retouching along the left, top, and right edges. The canvas appears to be relined. Framed.
