Condition

The canvas is not lined and UV examination reveals no obvious signs of retouching. There are a few tiny spots of florescence visible under UV light but these do not appear to be consistent with retouching and appear to be small accretions of surface dirt. There is some paint shrinkage to much of the black pigments and also some to the bright yellow pigment. This work is in overall good condition.
