Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is very faint evidence of light handling along the edges of the canvas including some faint and unobtrusive hairline craquelure at the lateral pull margins. The colors are bright and fresh. There are minor graphite marks on the turning edges of the corners, possibly inherent to the artistÂ’s working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
