Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is slightly loose on its stretcher and appears to be buckling slightly. There are some scattered areas of minor paint loss in the bottom white element and one 1/8th inch wide loss to the blue element in the upper right corner. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there appears to be a small spot accretion to the right of the vertical blue element which fluoresces brightly, but does not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.
