Condition Report:
The work was examined framed. The work is executed on two wooden panels which have been cradled behind. There are two minute chips with associated paint losses on the outer left edge. The painted surface presents some stable cracks to the wooden panel, in line with the artistic's choice of support. There are some scattered cracquelures in isolated places, mainly in the thicker red and orange areas of impasto. Inspection under UV light reveals a vertical line of inpainting down the middle of the panels. The work is in good overall condition.
