Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is mounted to a Masonite backing. There are some scattered spot accretions noted. There are some small circular areas near the perimeter that are slightly raised, likely due to the backing, with a few associated pinpoint pigment losses near the left edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there are 3 small areas in the center of the composition that fluoresce darkly. Framed.
