This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There is evidence of some wear and handling to the corners and edges of the canvas resulting in a few, scattered pinpoint losses to the pigment and some very minor surface scratches along the perimeter. Under close inspection, there are a few, scattered pinpoint surface accretions and a couple areas of very minor unobtrusive stable pigment craquelure particularly at the right vertical turning edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
