Condition

The canvas is not lined. The canvas is slightly undulating throughout, likely a consequence of the heavily-applied medium and to be expected from the artist's process. There are a few minor cracks in the areas of thickest pigment. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent. The work is in very good condition.
