Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and slightly loose on the stretcher. The variations to the surface texture, including the creasing and undulations to the various materials are due to the artist's chosen medium. The scattered stray media to the work is due to the artist's working method. There are several scattered surface accretions, some of which are likely inherent to the artist's chosen medium. Unframed.
