Condition
Oil on canvas laid down on board. The colors remain vibrant. There is a web of barely perceptible fine craqueluere as well as surface dirt and dust. Under UV: a green fluorescing uneven varnish largely impedes a review of the picture surface; however, there is a brushy area of fluorescence along the left lower edge and in the lower left corner and a spot of fluorescence underneath the seat of the stool.
