Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals a small spot of florescence to one of the chair's legs, probably inherent to the pigment. A few small spots of adhesive are visible under UV light to the lower left quadrant. There are lines of stable craquelure in places, most prominently to the impasto in the white pigment of the tea towel. This work is in overall very good condition.
