This work is in good condition overall. The 3 canvases are joined on the reverse at the stretchers. There is evidence of very light buckling at the corners of the canvases and light wear and handling around the edges of each of the canvases. Under close inspection, there is a minor indentation to the canvas at the lower right and left edges. There are light scuff marks at the lower right corner and along the bottom edge. There is a 2 inch abrasion in the center of the white canvas. There is evidence of potential inpainting to the main canvas at the center left in two areas. Under Ultraviolet inspection there are a couple of minor areas that fluoresce darkly and could be the result of restoration, particularly in the aforementioned areas of the main canvas at the center left edge. Framed.
