Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of very light wear and handling along the lower corners. There is a light small accretion near the lower right corner of the pink section. There are clear drip accretions throughout the light blue panel only visible under raking light but the appearance of these suggest that they are inherent to the work. There are no signs of restoration of inpainting under ultraviolet light inspection. Unframed.
