Condition

This work is in very good condition overall, taking its age into account. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The media layer is stable overall. The work is very lightly soiled overall due to its age. A faint S-shaped dark surface scuff measuring approximately five inches in length is present in the lower right quadrant. Under ultraviolet light examination, concentrated areas of very faint surface accretions become apparent in the left and right quadrants in the white background areas.
