Condition

The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is not lined. The work is in good overall condition. There are two points in the upper left quadrant that have been retouched, the canvas is bumping outward slightly and there is some minor discoloration. There is some very faint undulation to the canvas. There is some craquelure throughout: this would appear to have been touched up and the old retouches are visible as faint fluorescing under UV. The colors are bright and the work presents very well.
