Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The surface is bright and fresh. The three canvases are each stretched over separate wood panels. There is evidence of some light handling and minor surface soiling at the turning edges and corners, with some associated light wear to the pigment at a few points. Under close inspection there are a few pinpoint scattered surface accretions. Under raking light there is a very faint abrasion evident in the lower right of the center panel, roughly 3 inches in length. Unframed.
