Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges. There is a transparent yellow accretion at the left center edge, possibly residue from an adhesive. There is a pinpoint white media accretion in the upper right quadrant. Under very close inspection, minor drip accretions are visible in the upper right and lower left quadrants. The variations in tone are inherent to the artist's staining technique. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
