Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is craquelure throughout the clay, which inherent to the artist's choice of medium. There is also some scattered fine, horizontal craquelure, and one fine crack in particular that runs the length of the compostion, which is located 2/3 of the way down from the top of the work. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there are two spot accretions in the center of the work that fluoresce brightly, but there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
