Condition

This work is in fair condition overall. There is a 1 inch puncture 2 1/2 inches up from the bottom edge in the lower left quadrant with associated losses; it appears that marker was applied to the canvas in an attempt to minimize the visibility of the tear. There are scattered areas of re-touching, predominantly in the upper left and lower right quadrants. There are specks of white paint in the lower right quadrant, likely from the artist's studio. There are scattered dust accretions. Framed.
