Condition

The surface is undulated and could benefit from re-stretching. Craquelure is present throughout, particularly in the areas of thicker paint. Minor pinhole-sized losses to both the paint and canvas are visible upon very close inspection, especially around the edges of the work. The paint layers are uneven however this appears to be deliberate and inherent to the artist's process, as viewed.
