Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. Under ultraviolet light inspection, a 1-inch vertical drip accretion becomes apparent in the center of the composition. Fluorescence occurs throughout due to the pigments selected by the artist.
