Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and there is some light wear along the turning edges. The scattered pinpoint air bubbles in the pigment are inherent to the artist's working method. There is a minor surface accretion in the top left quadrant and minor dust accumulation is evident along the top peaks of the heavy pigmented areas. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is evidence of scattered surface soiling in the bottom right quadrant. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
