Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light handling and wear along the edges where the wood grain and texture of the panel show through the paint at certain areas, noticeably in the green section, however this is likely inherent to the medium and working method of the artist. Under ultraviolet light inspection there are scattered areas along the left side of the red section which fluoresce darkly, but are not visible under normal light conditions. Framed.
