This work is generally in good condition. There are small pinholes along the edge along the left side of the canvas. Gentle flaking and craquelures are observed throughout, most visibly in the impasto areas and most prominently in the red impasto. When examined under ultra-violet light, there appears to be no evidence of restoration.
