Condition
The canvas is unlined. There is craquelure throughout, and a horizontal stretcher bar mark is visible through the center of the composition. There are scattered accretions throughout the yellow pigment in the bottle, possible inherent to the artist's intent. Under UV light, there are some scattered minor strokes of inpainting along the edges, including one area in the upper left corner and along the left edge, as well as an area in the light blue pigments along the right edge. The work is in good condition.
