Condition
This work is in good condition. The canvas has been relined, and is well-stretched. The media layer appears stable and the colors are vibrant. A minor vertical loss measuring ½ inch in length is present in the lower left section of the jar. Under ultraviolet examination, a varnish becomes apparent. Isolated areas of inpainting are present along all four edges, likely due to prior frame abrasion.
