Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is very light evidence of handling along the edges. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There are a few minor hairline cracks to some of the areas of impasto and in the yellow painted areas but all appear to be stable. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are localized areas in both yellow triangles, the purple triangle at the lower right side and a small spot at the upper right of the blue triangle that fluoresce darkly and appear to have benefited from restoration. Framed.
