Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges. The canvas appears slightly loose along the bottom edge of the left panel where it was not stretched taught around the stretcher. There is very fine craquelure scattered across the two larger reddish brown shapes in the left panel. There also appears to be a varnish covering the entire painting. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
