Condition
This painting is unlined and well-stretched. A slight fold to the canvas extending from the left edge of the canvas, approximately eight to nine inches in length, is present in the lower left quadrant. Additionally, paint loss exists along this fold. There is a two-inch line of paint loss that extends from the bottom edge of the lower left quadrant near the lower left corner. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs but this is more than likely inherent to the pigment used by the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
