Condition

Work is in very good condition. Canvas is not lined. Surface is slightly dirty. Thin web of stable craquelure throughout center of composition. Some minor losses to extreme edges due to frame abrasion. Under UV light there are several hairline strokes of inpainting near upper left corner, a few small dots near center of left edge, and two small spots of inpainting at upper edge near upper right corner, otherwise several pigments fluoresce, but appear to be original.
