Condition
This work is in original unlined condition. Overall the work presents well, aside from surface dirt and discolored varnish. The work has been thinly painted. Under UV: a heavy varnish fluoresces green unevenly. There is minor, scattered fluorescence, primarily in the background, which likely corresponds with the artist's method.
