Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The paint layer is stable overall. There is minor buckling to the lower left corner of the canvas. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs; however, this is inherent to the nature of the medium selected/used by the artist.
