Condition
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a small number of minute featherline cracks in isolated places towards the vertical edges. There is light canvas draw in all four corners. Close inspection reveals a pinhead-sized and unobtrusive speck of paint loss to the thick layer of purple impasto at the centre of the upper right quadrant. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
