Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is mounted on canvas and the canvas is unlined. The surface texture irregularities to the figure are consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. There is evidence of minor wear and handling to the corners and turning edges. There is evidence of stray medium and very minor surface soiling. Under close inspection, there are a few scattered minor pinpoint surface accretions and some very minor surface scuffs. Only visible under very close inspection, there is a minor, stable tear to the top right corner of the sheet. Unframed.
