Condition

This work is in fair condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There is wear and minor losses to the turning edges and corners. There is evidence of surface soiling throughout and some scattered faint accretions. The upper left corner of the shaped stretcher is weak. The canvas undulates due to the instability of the stretcher frame. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there are several areas of inpainting visible throughout. Framed.
