Condition

Very good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of very slight wear and minor losses to edges of the work due to abrasions from the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. Upon close inspection, there is an area of light craquelure with pinhole sized loss at the upper left quadrant. There are two small pinhole sized losses at upper center and there is a small loss to green pigment at center. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals an accretion at yellow pigment along bottom edge. There is no visible sign of restoration under ultraviolet light.
