Condition
This piece is in very good condition. There is a stable minor hairline crack on the impasto, about 1 centimeter in length, 5 centimeters from the left edge and 30 centimeters from the bottom edge. The right edge shows abrasion, which has been caused by the framing, but it does not affect the actual image. The bottom right edge also has two tiny specks of paint loss, only visible under close inspection. Under UV light, there are scattered touch-ups along the four edges.
