Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling toward the edges of the canvas. There is artist's tape on some of the lateral edges. There are some scattered pin-point accretions and one localized spot of hairline craquelure in the orange-painted portion at the bottom of the canvas. Close inspection reveals a one-inch long abrasion in the center of the canvas, towards the bottom of the composition. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are scattered surface accretions along the right bottom quadrant, but there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
