Condition
This canvas has been cut and laid down on masonite, the varnish is heavy and glaze-like, and there are cracks and craquelure throughout the composition. Under UV, areas of inpainting fluoresce at the top right and in spots at the center right, and across the bottom; the a in the signature appears strengthened.
