Condition
The medium is oil on wood panel. The work is in good overall condition. There is surface dirt and dust throughout. There are a few pinhead size holes in the panel scattered, mostly in the left portion of the work. Some of the hardware is visible in the extreme edges of the picture. There are multiple accretions scattered throughout. There is good impasto retained. Under UV there are some large areas of fluorescence which appear to be in keeping with the artist's technique. One of the small holes at right appears to have been touched up. The work presents well overall.
