Condition
The canvas is laid down on hardboard. A close inspection reveals some minor irregularities in the canvas surface which are inherent to the support. Examination under UV light reveals two small vertical lines of fluorescence in the pale background of the upper right quadrant although these do not not appear to be related to condition issues. This work is in very good condition.
