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 overall. A minor isolated pinpoint spot of media loss is present in the extreme upper left corner of the canvas. In the lower left quadrant in the black background, an isolated faint circular indentation to the canvas is present, with a pinpoint spot of media loss to the left of it. Under raking light inspection, a few isolated very faint brown spot accretions become apparent in the lower left quadrant. Under ultraviolet light inspection, a very fine horizontal two-inch line of inpainting becomes apparent in the black background of the lower left quadrant.
