Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is very light evidence of handling along the edges including a minor dent in the blue painted area of the canvas 1 inch from the top edge and 22 inches from the left edge. Only visible under close inspection and raking light, there is an area of extremely faint and unobtrusive craquelure 35 inches from the right edge and 5 inches from the lower edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, two drip accretions on the right side fluoresce lightly and an area approximately 9½ inches from the bottom and 24 inches from the left edge fluoresces. Framed.
