Condition
The work is in very good condition. The canvas, six-member stretcher and attachments appear to be in good condition. There is a thin strip of tape adhered to the turnover edges. There are feather cracks to the turnover edges in places. There is minor cracking to the thicker impasto passages, primarily to the green passage at center left, with associated minor lifting and pinpoint paint losses in places. When examined under Ultraviolet light, the corners and a few small areas in in the green passage at center left fluoresce.
