Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are few areas of hairline drying cracks scattered thoughout the composition, particularly noticeable at the extreme corners. The surface has recently benefitted from a light topical cleaning by Amann + Estabrook Conservation, and as such the colors are vibrant and the surface is clean. Under ultraviolet inspection there is no evidence of inpainting. Framed.
