Condition

This work is in very good overall condition. There is evidence of light wear and handling marks around the edges and in the upper right square. There is a ½ inch colorless accretion located along the edge extending from the bottom of the upper right square which fluoresces white under ultra violet light inspection. Further inspection under ultra violet light reveals no evidence of restoration. Hanging and orientation instructions are written by the artist on both the reverse and the stretcher. Unframed.
