Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light hairline craquelure in the cream and yellow painted areas and along the edges of the canvas. There is evidence of light handling to the artist's frame. There is a smudge at the top right of the center cream area which fluoresces very slightly under Ultraviolet light inspection, but does not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed in an artist's frame and in between two pieces of Plexiglas.
