Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is very faint evidence of light handling along the edges of the canvas and there is extremely faint hairline craquelure at the upper and lower pull margins. The colors are bright and fresh. Under very close inspection, a very faint light yellow spot accretion 5 inches from the top and ¾ inches from the left edge is visible. There are minor graphite marks on the turning edges of the corners, possibly inherent to the artists working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
