Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light handling and wear to the sides of the canvas. There are irregularities to the surface of the canvas where the media settled, which is inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of minor wear to the upper corners, most notably in the upper right corner where there is a pinpoint loss that is only visible upon close inspection. Under Ultraviolet light there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
