Condition
The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is lined. The work is in fairly good overall condition. The work has retained nice dimension, though there are a few small losses scattered throughout, many of these have been touched up, visible both under UV and to the naked eye, particularly in the blacks, in the lower left quadrant. The work presents very well.
