Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There are variations in pigmented surface, due to the artist’s working method and choice of medium. Upon very close inspection, there are a few scattered areas of hairline, stable craquelure, particularly in the areas of white pigment at the upper center. Also under close inspection, there are a few unobtrusive areas of flattened impasto. There is evidence of very light wear to the 4 corners of the work. Under Ultraviolet inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
