Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are two minor accretions on the jeans of the figure on the left. To the immediate left of the belt buckle on the figure on the right there is a slim stray stroke of white paint, which is inherent to the working method of the artist. There are faint scuffs at center right in the black shirt of the figure on the right. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the artist frame, which is inherent to the work. This work has not been viewed under ultraviolet light. Framed.
