Original canvas. Painting presents very well. Under UV examination, very minor areas of fluorescing appear throughout, likely a result of the artist’s pigment and varnishing technique. There does not appear to be inpainting or retouching. Very minor craquelure in the upper left quadrant, only visible under raking light. No major condition issues to note.
Framed Dimensions 26.5 X 20.5 Inches
