Condition
Very good condition. Canvas has been lined. Colors appear lively and fresh. Surface is very slightly dirty and frame abrasion is apparent to the extreme outer edges of the composition. Two minor 1/4 inch surface scratches are present at the upper right corner. Under UV light the pink pigments fluoresce darkly but no inpainting is apparent.
