Condition

There are brown and black accretions to the upper left quadrant which appear to be paint and are possibly inherent. Some minor abrasions are visible particularly on the upper left edge and upper right corner of the work. There is a small undulation in the canvas in the lower left quadrant, only apparent upon very close inspection. This painting is in good condition overall, as viewed.
