Condition
The work is painted on a sheet that has been adhered to a piece of paperboard and then adhered to another piece of paperboard, likely by the artist. The artist's pinholes are evident in the center of the upper edge of the paperboard and in the upper right corner. Under UV, there are areas in the upper left quadrant and along the middle right edge that flouresce, but it is unclear if it is inpainting of glazes used by the artist.
