Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. There are a few spots that appear to be accretions that are a mixture of chalkier white and black pigment and fine pulpy fibers that have adhered to the surface, possibly from time of execution in the studio. They are located primarily:
--8 ¼ - 8 ¾ in. up from the bottom and 29 ¼ - 30 in. from the right edge
--8 in. down from the top edge and 24 in. from the left edge
--8 in. down from the top edge and 28 in. from the right edge
There are a few scattered pale accretion drips, located primarily in the lower right quadrant. Under Ultraviolet light, there are no apparent restorations. This work is not framed.
