Condition
This work is in excellent condition. There is a very small amount of light wear apparent at the extreme corner tips of the canvas, as is to be expected from a work of this age. At the upper left edge of the canvas, 2 ½" down from the upper left corner, there is evidence of a very light and unobtrusive liquid accretion 3/8" in diameter. Under ultraviolet light there are no apparent restorations. The canvas is framed in a metal strip frame.
