Condition

The painting is in excellent condition with no visible tears, creases, or losses. The surface is stable, and the color is bold and bright. There is a minute loss to paint to the lower center of the painting; however, it is not visible at arm length. When inspected under UV light, there is no visible sign of restoration. Very light wear to the frame. Please contact us for a detailed condition report. Please note that the lack of a condition statement does not imply perfect condition.
