The painting displays beautifully with strong color and texture.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition overall. There is a very small 0.25" puncture in the upper-mid left area of the canvas (see pic). It is difficult to see and does not distract from the artwork when displayed, but it is noted for accuracy.
No paint flaking or lifting. Minor age appropriate surface craquelure consistent with a mid century oil painting. Canvas is stable and presents beautifully. Examine all the pictures closely. Zoom in & out to get a good sense of its exact condition: a picture tells a thousand words. The painting photos serve as a document as to its condition.
