Condition

The only change that appears to have occurred in this work since it was painted is the noticeable relaxation of the canvas. There are significant waves on the sides of this work that should be corrected. The current stretcher cannot be expanded. While one could reduce the waves in the canvas without changing the stretcher, ultimately a new and expandable stretcher should be provided to correct the surface.
