Condition

This work is in very good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light wear and losses along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame. There are pinholes at the bottom two corners. There are very small and fine networks of hairline craquelure at areas of thick impasto, most visible at yellow pigment at center, but this is consistent with the age of the work. Framed, under Plexiglas.
