Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. The surface irregularities in the pigment application are consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. There is evidence of minor surface soiling and light wear and handling to the turning edges and corners. Only visible under very close inspection, there are a few, scattered pinpoint surface accretions and three very minor pinpoint punctures to the center of the canvas. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few areas which fluoresce lightly but do not appear to be as a result of restoration. Unframed.
