Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of overall wear and handling to the sides, turning edges and corners of the canvas, which appear as minor rubbing and surface soiling. There is an area of red paint approximately 31 inches from the right edge and 44 inches from the bottom edge where previous losses are apparent but appear entirely stable and inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
