Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is some fine and stable craquelure, particularly in the black and yellow pigmented areas. The paint drops on the frames and the surface and texture inconsistencies appear to be inherent to the artist's working method. The bottom of the right panel appears to have separated slightly from the frame edge, but it appears stable. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Each framed in a separate wood frame.
