Condition
This work is in good condition. There is hairline craquelure scattered across the canvas, notably on the table and the object on top of it. Very slight undulation has occurred at the bottom. The pieces also bears a pinhead paint loss towards the top, 14 cm to the right edge; minor wear to the upper left corner; and a 0.5cm light grey accretion, 10 cm to the bottom and 21 cm to the right edge, which presumably is inherited from the artist. UV light reveals evidence of restoration, notably a few touch ups in the upper right quadrant and in the bottom area.
