Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. The turning edges of the canvas are covered with a broad, thin strip stapled intermittently to the stretcher. The pigment is very thinly applied, due to the artist's working method. There are a few, fine narrow vertical accretions in the upper right of the composition. There are some fine, unobtrusive linear abrasions noted. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
