Condition Report:
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. Under close inspection, there are scattered areas of faint craquelure with resultant minor losses to the more thickly impastoed blue passages. There are loose threads and fibers along the edges of the canvas, inherent to the artist’s chosen medium and working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
