Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Visible only upon close examination, occasional yellow marks are observed, scarcely scattered across the surface of the canvas which are unobtrusive to the main composition of the work. Uneven distribution of paint coincides with artist's chosen method of execution. No evidence of restoration observed when examined under ultraviolet light. Framed.
