Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are some signs of handling and wear to the extreme edges of the composition, with a 1 inch loss approximately 13 inches above the lower left corner, which fluoresces dark when examined under ultraviolet light. Under very close inspection in raking light, the varnish is unevenly applied to the and appears cloudy to the black areas of the pigment, which is inherent to artist's working method. Unframed.
