Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is very light evidence of handling along the edges. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The inconsistencies in the paint layers appear inherent to the artist’s working method and intent. Under very close inspection, there is a faint horizontal abrasion-like mark that extends across the width of the canvas. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
