Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling, particularly toward the edges, where there are networks of craquelure and some small spots of paint loss. The canvas is a bit loose on the stretcher and is buckling slightly toward the center and along the side edges. There is hairline craquelure throughout the canvas, including a concentric network of cracks at the upper left corner. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration.
