Condition
According to Xavier Tricot, the signature and date on this work were added by the artist at a later date.
The canvas is lined. The surface is slightly dirty with a think stable layer of craquelure. Under UV light there are a few scattered sports of inpainting along the extreme edges to address previous frame abrasion. There is a nail head sized spot just to the right center of the canvas. The work is in generally good condition.
