Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright and fresh. Very close inspection under raking light reveals some scattered areas of extremely faint hairline craquelure. Further close inspection reveals intermittent areas of faint gold residue around the edges, likely as a result of frame rub. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there are a few minor spots in the yellow towards the center of the lateral and lower edges that fluoresce darkly. Framed under Plexiglas.
