Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The four canvases have been lined and the heavy multi-layered paint film is cracked throughout, with widely scattered areas of restoration and consolidation of the cupping and tenting of the paint. There is a potential loss in the bottom left panel near the upper edge, left of center. There is another small loss about 4 inches to the left of that loss. Under ultraviolet light, all four panels reveal scattered retouching and intermittent scattered restoration along the edges of the canvases. Unframed.
