Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. The scattered stray media present is due to the artist's working method. There are some non-obtrusive, scattered surface accretions. Under very close inspection, there are a few, very faint horizontal surface abrasions to the canvas. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration.
