Condition
This work is in generally good condition. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The paint layer is stable. Minor buckling is visible in all corners of the canvas. Some yellowing has occurred to the extreme edges of the canvas. Four small brown accretions are present in the upper left quadrant and two small brown accretions are present in the lower center quadrant. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs; however, this is inherent to the media selected and used by the artist.
