Condition
This painting is in excellent condition. The canvas has been lined using Beva-371 as an adhesive. There are two structural damages to this picture: one beginning on the top edge and entering the background in the upper left, and the other is a small puncture approximately two inches from the top edge, again in the background. The remainder of the picture seems to be in very good condition and, like the other one of this set, we recommend that it be hung as is.
