Condition

This work is generally in good condition. Sporadic surface accretion and minor spots of foxing can be noticed, especially at the area above the circle. There are minor wear in handling marks around the corners and edges. Minor craquelures can be noticed upon close examination around the area with strong impasto, with the most obvious being in the inner circle (lower left, which measures approximately 1 cm.). Having examined the work under ultraviolet light, there appears to be no evidence of restoration.
