Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is slightly loosely stretched, and unlined. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable overall. A few very faint handling marks are scattered around the extreme edges of the canvas. Under ultraviolet light examination, some fluorescence occurs due to the pigments selected by the artist.
