Condition
The canvas is unlined. The medium is rich with a nice impasto. There are a few thin lines of craquelure to the white pigment and to the thicker part of impasto with some associated surface dust. There is a pinhole to the upper right corner. Under UV light, only a few tiny dots of white pigment appears to fluoresce to the upper right quadrant, however there is no evidence of any retouching. This work is in very good original condition.
