Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges, resulting in hairline craquelure to the pull margins and very minor loss at the corners. The canvas is slightly slack on its stretcher. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few pinpoint spot accretions that fluoresce brightly but there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
