Condition Report*: Unlined canvas; minor surface dirt; three areas of craquelure: two in the center (yellow rectangle and large blue square) and one in the upper right corner of the large blue square; the craquelure fluoresces under black light, likely due to the conservation technique (stabilization of the craquelure) and not to in-painting; the passages of craquelure are reinforced on the reverse with two plastic supports measuring 5.5 x 11" and 2 x 6".
