This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is slightly slack on the stretcher. There are a few creases and minor pulls to the canvas viewable upon close inspection, likely inherent to the artist's chosen medium and present at the time of execution. Upon close inspection, there are a few non-obtrusive, scattered surface accretions viewable and some minor, scattered linear scratches to the surface, more viewable to the upper band of the canvas. There are scattered, faint signs of handling to the turning edges of the canvas, including some visible staple holes. Unframed.
