Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There are scattered faint surface accretions throughout the lower quadrant of the canvas, most noticeably a vertical accretion at the lower center and faint surface abrasion at the lower center edge. There are some faint handling marks along the top edge. This painting would benefit from a light cleaning. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
