Condition
This work is in beautiful condition. The canvas is on its original stretcher. The painted reverse has not been tampered with. The work is unvarnished and shows no losses. Reverón's technique is unique, and any small pockets where the paint layer is not properly adhered and any unevenness in the burlap are all original to the artist. There is a small restoration near the edge in the upper center, and another small restoration about 1 1/2 inches from the top edge slightly to the left of center.
