Condition
Canvas is unlined and slightly buckled. Colors are vibrant and fresh. There are scattered fine lines of surface cracking throughout the composition but the paint layer is stable. There is a diagonal surface scratch at the upper right corner and a vertical scuff near the lower right quadrant of the canvas. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in very good condition.
