Condition
The canvas is original. There are some scattered lines of craquelure and two small spots of associated paint loss in the grey circle in the right hand side of the composition. These could benefit from stabilization. Ultra-violet light reveals areas of fluorescence in the translucent grey pigment visible in the centre of the upper edge, in the upper left quadrant and towards the lower centre of the composition. This appears to be retouching addressing old paint flaking. This work is overall in good condition.
This work is being sold unframed.
