Condition
The surface is stable and vibrant overall. Craquelure is visible along the right portion of the extreme top edge. Frame abrasions are present the lower portion of the left edge. There is minor paint loss to the upper right corner. Under ultra-violet inspection, fluorescing occurs; however, this is more than likely inherent to the pigments selected by the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
