Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the canvas are paper taped. There is evidence of extremely light wear and handling at the edges of the canvas, with associated faint hairline craquelure at the pull margins. Upon close inspection, there is scattered craquelure in the areas of thicker impasto with a few resultant losses, most notably in the dark green pigment at the lower left edge and the darker brown pigment at the upper center. There is an approximately 6 inch area in the center of the composition that is lightly stained. A light layer of dust has settled on the areas of thicker impasto. The colors are bright and fresh. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration.

Framed dimensions: 72 ¼ by 87 ¼ in. (183.5 by 221.6 cm.)
