This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of minor soiling and dust accumulation to the surface. There is evidence of minor wear and light handling to the corners and turning edges resulting in a few, scattered associated pinpoint losses along the perimeter, particularly the lower horizontal edge. Under close inspection, there are a few pinpoint areas of flattened impasto. At the upper left edge roughly 3 inches from the top there is a small area of pigment craquelure, only visible under close inspection, which fluoresces darkly under Ultraviolet light inspection and could be as a result of minor restoration. Framed.
