Condition
(This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Conservation, Inc.)
This painting is in very good condition. The canvas is unlined and has no stability issues. The paint layer is unvarnished and not dirty. The black tape that surrounds the side of the painting is becoming unglued and may have to be replaced. Under ultraviolet light a small blemish, located roughly in the center of the composition and measuring approximately 1/3-inch square, has been retouched. A few tiny horizontal cracks in the red triangle in the center left have also received retouches. There are a few tiny scuffs visible in the black color in the upper right corner and on the center left edge, but all of these are easily remedied, probably without retouching. Overall the condition is very good.
