Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges of the canvas, resulting in some linear surface abrasions at the corners. There are some scattered spot accretions towards the bottom of the canvas and some small, localized networks of hairline craquelure, particularly in the blue paint around the figure. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
