Condition

The medium is oil on canvas, not lined. The work is in very good overall condition and has retained its impasto. The canvas is buckling somewhat throughout, more pronounced towards the corners, and is a bit slack on the stretcher. There is no apparent inpainting when examined under UV light. The colors are bold and fresh and the work presents very well.
