Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the cloth inherent to the artist's working method and chosen medium. The colors have slightly discolored with age which is consistent to the artist's work from this period. Under close inspection, there are a few minute, unobtrusive scattered pulled threads throughout the work. Unframed.
