Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling at the edges of the canvas, and some there is some slight buckling at upper right corner. The scattered graphite smudges are inherent to the artist's working method and materials. There are several scattered hairline concentric cracks at the bottom center and upper center of the canvas in the white-painted areas. There is some faint discoloration to upper white edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
