Private Collection, Philadelphia

The canvas is relined and well-stretched. The work is varnished. Craquelure is visible throughout, particularly in the upper left quadrant. Paint loss and frame abrasion is particularly visible to the upper right and upper left corners. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs in some areas but this seems to be inherent to some of the pigments used by the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
