Condition
This work is in very good condition. Canvas is unlined. The colors are bright and fresh and the surface retains a rich and textured impasto. There is some scattered cracking, primarily in the lighter colored pigments. Under UV light there are a few scattered pin dots and thin lines of inpainting around the extreme perimeter of the work, likely to address prior frame abrasion. Otherwise fine.
