Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including a few pinpoint spots of loss along the edges of the board, most noticeably at the bottom left corner, all of which are obscured by the frame. The colors are bright and fresh. There are several scattered graphite marks in the center and right side of the work, possibly from the time of execution. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there are areas at the tips of the corners and in the bottom third of the work that fluoresce darkly and appear to have benefited from light retouching. Framed.
