Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The edges of the canvas are taped. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, with resultant minor paint loss along the lower right edge. There is a white media accretion along the lower right edge and two beige pinpoint media accretions along the left edge. There are a few scattered accretions and light abrasions, only visible upon close inspection. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are scattered drip accretions that fluoresce lightly but do not appear to be the result of restoration. Unframed.
