Condition

Stable support. There is minor surface dirt, and traces of very slight loss to some of the black applied impasto, only visible upon close inspection, and some of which may be in keeping with the Artist's technique. Elsewhere there is minor flattening to some of the thicker areas of impasto, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition. Ultraviolet light reveals areas of florescence which appear in keeping with the nature of the work and do not suggest retouching. Unframed.
