Condition
This work is in good condition, taking its age into account. The colors are vibrant and the media layer appears stable overall. A diagonal line of craquelure perhaps due to creasing of the board is present in the upper right corner, measuring 3 inches in length. Minor scattered paint losses are present in the upper center quadrant of the work, which do not interfere with the overall effect of the composition. A small loss to the cardboard measuring ½ inch in width is present along the upper left edge, three inches from the top of the work. Wear is present along each of the edges.
