Condition

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of wear and losses along the edges and corners of the work. There are two tiny pinholes visible on the top register. Paint losses are found near the center of the top margin (green paint), middle of the left margin (yellow paint), near the center of the composition (black and yellow paints), and the board is chipped on the bottom right corner. Examination under ultraviolet light shows restoration along the top right border, top left margin (near signature) and top margin near the right corner. However, this is not visible with the naked eye. Framed.
