Condition
This work is in good condition. There is evidence of wear at the edges. There are unstable areas of craquelure scattered throughout the composition with resultant paint loss, revealing the underlying composition by Walter Darby Bannard.. There is evidence of inpainting which is visible in both raking and UV light, presumably to address the cracking. The most apparent of these areas are located along the right edge at 10 and 12 in. respectively from the bottom edge; along the bottom edge, approximately 7 in. from the right edge; and at 6 ¼ in. from the right lateral edge and 10 in. from the bottom edge. There are areas of faint white spot accretions scattered throughout the composition. Framed.
