Condition

This work is in very good overall condition. There is a very faint and short rub mark on the center of the left extreme edge, probably inherent to the artist's working process. The work is inscribed 'CD 76' on the overlap. Under ultra volet light, there are lines around the edges which fluoresce brightly but which appear inherent to the artist's working method. Ultra violet light does not reveal any evidence of restoration. Framed.
