Condition
Original canvas.
There is minor isolated craquelure visible to the yellow and white pigments in the upper left quadrant, with two spots of possible loss to the bottom black and yellow circles in the bottom right hand quadrant, visible upon close inspection. There are a couple of very slight frame abrasions to the extreme edges of the canvas, but this excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals areas of fluorescence which appear in keeping with the nature of the materials and do not suggest retouchings.
Housed in a light grey, tight wooden box frame.
