Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and loosely-stretched. The paint layer is stable overall. Some rubbing and frame abrasion is visible along the extreme edges of the canvas. Faint brown accretions are present in the lower right section of the white sheet held by the figure in the background. A concentrated area of faint brown accretions are visible in the water in the lower right quadrant, and two brown accretions are visible on the calla lilies. There is a water mark on the reverse of the canvas. Additionally, the canvas is approximately two-inches larger on each side than the size of the stretcher.
