Condition
This works is in good condition overall. The edges of the board are taped. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including some hairline craquelure and a few minor pinpoint areas of paint loss at the edges, most notably along the bottom edge at the intersection of the white and black areas. There is some faint craquelure, pinpoint losses, media and drip accretions visible in some sparsely scattered areas throughout. The work has been fully varnished by the artist. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned varnish fluoresces lightly but does not appear to be the result of restoration. Unframed.
