Condition
This work is unlined. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from a few small areas of craquelure and bubbling, namely in the center right above the piano and in the upper right and left quadrants. Under UV, the pigments are still active and flouresce differently throughout, most likely due to the artist using different pigments.
