Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There is light surface soiling throughout and a few minor scattered accretions. The pigment has a generally rough texture, due to the artist's choice of medium, and the artist's application of the medium varies. There is an area in the upper center left that is without pigment, but this appears intentional as there is no sign of loss. This work has not been inspected under Ultraviolet light. Framed.
