Oil on canvas, canvas is not lined. Surface: In generally good condition aside from scattered areas of faint craquelure, at the corners there are visibly repaired tack holes, and a very faint buckle to the lower right corner. This work presents very nicely and the pigments appear fresh. UNDER UV: A few scattered dots and dashes at extreme edges to address frame abrasion and a few dots on the white bird.
