Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including hairline craquelure at the pull margins. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under very close inspection, scattered pinpoint brown spot accretions are visible throughout and two small vertical cracks are visible in the upper white-painted area. On the verso, two pale, circular stains are visible at the lower third. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, a drip accretion along the bottom edge towards the right fluoresces lightly but does not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.
