Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges. The surface exhibits some slight rippling in spots, visible under raking light. There are some scattered pinpoint accretions most notably in the bottom of the canvas, right and left of the signature, and in the blue area along left side. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are scattered accretions which fluoresce brightly but are not the result of inpainting. Framed.
