Condition
This painting is in extremely good condition. The paint layer is on a porous board which robs the surface of any gloss. The painting has probably never been cleaned or varnished.
Under ultraviolet light although the colors in the painting read very strongly, no retouches are identifiable. The painting should be hung as is.
