This work on canvas is well-preserved but requires some attention. The tacking edges have been reinforced to allow for proper stretching. The painting seems to be dirty and the canvas could be tightened. There are a few losses in the upper center in the red square and in the green in the center right. The work looks a little uneven at present but is actually in very healthy state and will respond well to restoration.
