SURFACE: in good condition, generally UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: a spot of inpianting at center and a few dots/dashes along edges for abrasion; work was selectively cleaned at on time, as lights (upper half of painting) are in sharper focus under uv--the darks are under older varnish (this includes signature)
