Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is scattered surface soiling. There are scattered surface abrasions, likely due to the artist's choice of support. The most evident abrasions are located on the dog's nose and on the wings. There is a nailhead-size loss to the support located in the center of the composition and another tiny surface irregularity 2 inches up from the bottom edge, both are likely due to the artist's choice of support. Unframed.
