Condition

The canvas is unlined and loosely-stretched. The surface/paint layer appears stable overall. There is intermittent paint loss along the edges of the canvas. Small flecks of white fabric remnants are on found dispersed on the surface in the upper and lower right quadrants and in the left of the center quadrant. There is slight bulging of the canvas in the upper right quadrant, close to the corner. Under ultra-violet inspection, small accretions appear in the lower center and lower left quadrants. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
