Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is some light evidence of wear and handling, particularly toward the edges. There is some extremely fine and stable craquelure along the lateral edges where the paint is thick. The canvas has a few very minor spots of fraying inside the slash, which are visible under close inspection. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Framed under glass.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
