Condition
Oil on paperboard. The paperboard has been prepared with a thick layer of white which is visible at the extreme edges. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from hair-line craquelure in scattered areas across the picture surface. Under UV light, the varnish flouresces in a way that makes it very difficult to read the picture surface.
