Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling, particularly to the edges. The canvas is slightly slack on its stretcher with slight buckling at the upper right and bottom two corners, and there are faint stretcher bar impressions in the canvas. There are scattered networks of hairline craquelure throughout, particularly in the white painted areas. The areas of exposed canvas appear to be lightly soiled. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
