Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and loosely stretched. Buckling is present in each of the upper corners. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer appears stable. Minor scattered pigment losses are present in the black section of the upper right corner of the work. A varnish is apparent both under raking light and ultraviolet examination. Additionally, under ultraviolet examination, two isolated spots of inpainting become apparent; one in the lower right quadrant in the center of the teal triangle, the other in the white section of the lower right corner, adjacent to the signature.
