Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is some horizontal craquelure scattered throughout the composition, most notably to the green and white pigments. There are artist's pinholes in the upper corners. When examined under UV light: there are a few spots of retouching addressing frame rubbing along the periphery of the canvas and a nailhead-sized spot of retouching in the lower right quadrant. This work is in good overall condition.
