Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The colors are vibrant. A few isolated two-inch lines of hairline craquelure are present in the upper left and lower right quadrants, as well as in the areas of heavy impasto in the center quadrant and lower left edge; however, all of these areas are stable. Two ¾-inch areas of media loss are present: one triangular in the lower center quadrant in the field of yellow, and one square in the lower right quadrant in the grey element. Under ultraviolet light examination, no evidence of inpainting becomes apparent.
