Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges with resultant pinpoint areas of loss near the upper right corner. There are scattered pinpoint surface accretions visible under close inspection. There is a slight discoloration along the bottom left edge of the work that measures approximately 3 x 4 inches, which fluoresces lightly under Ultraviolet light inspection and appears to have benefitted from restoration. Also under Ultraviolet light inspection, an area in the bottom black square that measures approximately 1½ x 3 inches also appears to have benefitted from restoration. Framed.
