Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There is light wear at the corners and turning edges of the canvas. The tacking edges are taped and there are a few pinpoint surface accretions in the lower left quadrant. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the spot accretions fluoresce brightly, but there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
