Condition
Oil on stable panel, offered unframed.

Overall the surface is fresh and the colors are bright. Minor surface dirt. Frame abrasion and a few minor losses at the extreme edges. There is an eraser head sized loss to the panel with associated pigment loss on the hanging rug at upper center. A very few minor surface scratches. Under UV: varnish fluoresces green. No apparent issues.
