Condition
The work is in very good condition. The canvas is unlined. There is a one-inch border of added canvas which has been glued down to all four edges, likely inherent to the time of creation. The front of the painting is richly textured and the pigments are well-preserved. There is very fine hairline craquelure throughout. The back of the painting is similarly richly textured and the pigments are well-preserved. Under UV inspection, no inpainting is apparent on either side of the work.
