Condition

The canvas is not lined. The colors appear bright and fresh. There are thin lines of stable cracking to the thickest areas of pigment. Under UV light: some small spots of fluorescence, notably toward the upper right corner, although a masking varnish is difficult to read through. This work is in overall very good condition.
