Condition

This work is generally in good condition. Upon close examination, webs of hairline craquelures are visible most prominently along the top and left edges and on the impasto. There is a minor instance of paint loss in the black impasto at the lower left corner, and a minor chip to the paper at the lower-right edge. When examined under ultraviolet light, there appears to be no evidence of restoration.
