Condition

Oil on canvas mounted on board. The canvas has been wax lined, and the edges of the canvas are visible wrapped around the back of the board. The surface is clean and in generally good condition aside from a pattern of widely spaced craquelure. Under UV light, the craquelure has been retouched. The varnish fluoresces green and obscures the work, especially in the lower right corner.
