Condition

The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is not lined. The work is in very good overall condition. There is nice impasto retained. There is some frame rubbing at all edges, less so at the bottom edge. Under UV there are a few spots (under dime-sized) of old retouches, in the lower right and lower left quadrants. The colors are strong and the work presents well.
