Condition
This work is in good condition, taking its age into account. The canvas is unlined and loosely stretched. Fine craquelure is present in the areas of impasto along the top of the canvas. The edges of the canvas are covered in acid-free tape. A few minor losses are present in the area of impasto, specifically in the upper left corner. Under ultraviolet examination, an isolated area of inpainting becomes apparent in the central quadrant of the painting, specifically concentrated in the green and yellow forms. Additional isolated areas of inpainting are present in the extreme corners of the canvas. This work is ready to hang.
