Support: Medium-weight cotton canvas over commercial wood stretcher. O’Keeffe signed the canvas verso with black oil paint. There is a patch in the middle of the canvas from an older repair, visible from the verso.
Ground/Support Preparation: No ground/primer layer visible
Design Layers: No underdrawings visible
Surface Coating: moderately thick glossy varnish
Framing, Backing, and Hanging Hardware: Work is framed in a rustic, gilded rectangular frame with a coroplast backing screwed into the stretcher bars. There are d-rings and wire for hanging.
The work is complete and in overall good condition. There is moderate craquelure throughout the painting, primarily in the center, with minor paint loss surrounding the cracks. There is slight canvas swelling/building in the ULQ. The canvas edges are lightly separating from the frame; the work and frame are stable but will need reinforced in the future. The canvas is taut, and the work is planar overall. There was a previous repair in the center of the canvas, visible on the verso. The edges of forms are often defined by raised linear brush work at the margins of the forms. These sometimes fracture and flake as a result of canvas deflection/excursion in transit and should be monitored for cracks and losses after transit.
