Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and there is some light wear along the extreme turning edges and corners of the canvas. There is hairline crackle in multiple locations, most notably in the lower center and top center quadrants and some very minor spots of lifting left of center. The artist's applied varnish is slightly discolored due to time. Framed.
