Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the sides, edges, and corners of both canvases, resulting in surface soiling, abrasions and minor paint loss, most notably in the corners. The white canvas appears to have been restretched as evidenced by staple holes along the sides of the canvas. The white canvas also appears to be slightly loose, resulting in some undulation to the surface. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
