Condition
The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The paint layer appears stable overall. There are minor losses along the extreme left edge of the canvas. Fluorescing occurs under ultraviolet inspection; however, this is a likely inherent quality of the pigments/medium used by the artist. Overall, this work is in generally good condition.
