Condition
This work is in very good overall condition. There are two minor abrasions measuring approximately ¼ inch each with resultant losses to the varnish which are located 1 ½ from the top edge and 8 ¾ inches from the left edge. There are scattered dust and drip accretions as well as evidence of wear and handling to the edges. There are a few scattered white spots of paint which are presumably inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultra violet light, scattered areas fluoresce, presumably inherent to nuances in the varnish application, as there is no evidence of inpainting. Framed.
