Condition
The work is in good condition overall. There is indication of light wear and handling around the edges of the painting due to the basic framing process. Upon close observation, there is evidence of three pin-sized holes (two on each supporting structure of the front hut and one on the lower right margin), along with a minuscule tear on the upper right margin (approximately 1/2 inch). Two faint spots of foxing spots are visible on the front hut next to the man. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration. Framed, under Plexiglas.
