Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges of the artist's frame, resulting in a slight chip to the frame in the upper right corner and paint loss to the bottom lateral side. There are a few minor pinpoint varnish accretions on the left half of the work, visible only upon close inspection. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
