Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The work is hinged to the backing board on the reverse. The fabric is unevenly cut and there are some stray threads at the edges. There is minor undulation to the support and some soft creasing. There are artist's pin-holes at the 4 corners. There is some surface soiling throughout and slight areas of discoloration to the fabric. There is evidence of old adhesive residue along the top on the reverse that is visible on the front, most likely caused by a previous mounting. There are a few pin-point areas of minor pigment loss, primarily in the right of the composition. Framed under Plexiglas.
