Condition
The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is lined. The work is in good overall condition. There is some fine craquelure, notably in the beige painted areas, some of which has been filled in, as visible under UV. Also under UV appears a small (2mm diam) spot of inpainting in the lower right quadrant. The colors are fresh and clear and the work presents very well.
