Condition
Craquelure and frame abrasion is present along all four edges. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs particularly in the grey areas, but this is more than likely inherent to the nature of the pigment used by the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
