Condition
Framed by a wooden frame, this work is in very good overal condition. It was not examined out of frame nor under UV light. There are minor signs of rubbing along the bottom edge of the picture, and there are two very faint spots of pigment separation in the lower portion of the picture; each area is no larger than 2 x 2 in. However this is inherent to the working method of the artist, stable, and does not affect the overall condition of the work.
