Condition
The board is sound.
There is some minor frame abrasion along the left and upper edges. There are one or two extremely tiny minor surface abrasions, including near the right edge in the lower right quadrant and near the top of the right purple vertical line. The surface is dirty and may benefit from a light clean.
Ultraviolet light reveals a few isolated scattered flecked retouchings, primarily to the yellow in the upper half of the work. There are also some larger areas of fluorescence, which appear to be the hand of the artist, including a spot upper right, two upper left and one near the lower right corner.
Held in a painted wooden and wooden frame.
